Black to the Trails, a trail running event for black people, people of color and white allies, is returning to Dunstable Downs in the Chiltern Hills this May. Billed as "the world's most ethnically diverse trail running event," runners of all colors and ages can sign up to compete in one of four distances and experience some of the most beautiful trails in the South East.
"It's unlike anything that's been seen before," says Black Trail Runners co-founder and race director Sabrina Pace-Humphreys, who helped launch the event in 2023 after seeing very little diversity at trail running events, from participants to organizers. She says she hopes the annual event will become the rule rather than the exception across all trail running events.
