This run/walk started in the medieval market town of Henley in Arden, the route passed through the village of Ullenhall and then “Coughton Court” home of the Throckmorton family who were associated with the “gunpowder plot” of 1605. The shorter route then returned to Henley passing some of the remnants of the Ancient Forest of Arden in the form of “Bannams Wood” and “Clouse Wood”. The main course continued through the town of Alcester, and skirted Oversley Wood and several more thatched hamlets before arriving at Aston Cantlow. The route then rejoined the short route through newly planted trees. Included in the entry fee two native broadleaf trees will be planted in the “Heart of England Forest” per runner.

After that, the course wound west between Kreuzberg and Neukölln, through Schöneberg, over to Friedenau and Zehlendorf, before turning north back toward the city’s centre. Finally looping above Schöneberg, the course came full circle as it finished through the Brandenburg Gate. Read Cathy’s race report here.
