Description

Forestry England are inviting tenders for the development and management of a trail running series to take place across numerous Forestry England sites

In 2019 the Forestry 100 Running series of 10k events took place at 16 different Forestry England centres across the country. The events celebrated our centenary by delivering a series of picturesque and challenging trail runs which showcased our forests.

2020 will build on the success of the Forestry 100 Running series and deliver a unique series of 10k forest trail runs across approximately 10 sites. In addition, dependent on site infrastructure, we would also offer a 5k distance and/or a family fun run at the same time.

We are looking to recruit a delivery partner who can plan, manage and deliver the trail runs across approximately 10 sites in year 1, with the capacity to extend the number of locations over a 3 year period, subject to a review at the end of year 1.
