The Hillfort Hustle is a challenging but beautiful run through North Herefordshire countryside including a climb up to the Iron Age Hillfort at Croft Ambrey. Starting opposite the Riverside Inn at Aymestrey, the run takes in the pretty village of Leinthall Earls before entering the private Gatley Estate which has given special permission for the race to enjoy their wonderful grounds.
Shortly after the climb is on - up to the Hillfort and some glorious views before starting the descent to home. It might just be the one of the most beautiful and rewarding races in the country. There's the Hustle Half offering a shorter 5 mile route but don't worry, the runners still get to tackle the climb up to the Hillfort!
Back at the finish there will be food and drink available and, if the sun's shining, ice cream!
Chip Timing by Ready Set Go. Hillfort Hustle Medal for all finishers. Age group prizes.
