The Runaway Train Trail Race on 3 May 2026 celebrates the Windsor Hill railway path, with a rugged trail race and a feast in Shepton Mallet market place.

The full 8.5 mile course has a total climb of 1200ft and includes open fields, grass trails, rough tracks and some tarmac footpath. There is also a less challenging 3 mile option with less climb and easier terrain; and new in 2026, is a 6 mile route.

All courses are chip-timed, super scenic, taking in woods, valleys, distant hills, dark tunnels and high viaducts, finishing right in the heart of Shepton Mallet.
