The Elves 11 Trail is a native trail race (there are no marshals or arrows, you follow written instructions) following a circular route of 11 Elvish miles, between Maldon and Mundon. The route is 95% off road on a variety of terrain.

For your safety you are advised to run with a mobile of the same number that you have left with registration.

The race starts and finishes at Maldon Saints Youth Football Club. There will be a well-stocked checkpoint at approximately 7 miles. When you reach the finish, you will receive a well-earned medal, snacks and a cuppa.

The race is run under permit from The Trail Running Association (permit number TBC).

Start time: 9.00 am - 10.00 am (Runners can start when they wish within the hour)

Bags will be able to be left in the hall (at own risk), and there will be someone there at all times.

Fancy dress encouraged.

Timing will be from each individual's start.  Please ensure your number is clearly visible on your front. Also, be prepared to shout your number at the finish if requested.  We are aiming to post the results on the web later the same day.
