On October 25, 2025, the Giddy Horse Races weekend returns to the historic Chepstow Racecourse for a celebration of trail running and endurance challenges. Participants can choose from standard trail distances like 4-mile, 8-mile, and half marathon, as well as night runs, canicross events, and obstacle course races for added adventure. Ultra runners can take on solo or team backyard-style challenges, with options including an 8-hour (33 miles), 12-hour (50 miles), and 24-hour (approx. 104 miles) ultra race. The looped course blends woodland, parkland, and tarmac with gentle elevation and panoramic views of the Severn Bridge and Wye Valley cliffs. With its festival atmosphere, variety of race formats, and inclusive approach, it’s a standout event on the UK trail running calendar.
