TRAIL PURSUIT 2021

A trail running race experience for people who love the great outdoors.

Held in the stunning Lake District and hosted by EVOSSI & Peakrunners, harnessing our passion to explore new places & deliver an incredible trail running experience.

We offer distances to challenge you whether experienced or new to the trails!

How it all started

Our founders Ed & David met at the Conti Thunder Run & bonded over a love of the trails! David, owner of Peakrunners a brand who hosts trail races across the Peak District has teamed up with Ed, founder of EVOSSI. A running brand who sell sports apparel & host adventurous trips around the world.

Together, they led an adventure running trip to Snowdonia which was a huge success. The idea for Trail Pursuit was yet to reveal itself. Then, Ed invited David onto his podcast The EVOSSI Explore Show & had the idea for a collaborative sports event at the end of it.

After a goodnights sleep & a stellar brainstorm session, Trail Pursuit was born! Ed & David would combine their skillsets around race directing, building communities & special experiences to create a unique event in the glorious Lake District.

Venue: Brathay Hall

Brathay Hall provides a stunning event centre for Trail Pursuit. This Georgian country house overlooks the northern shore of Windermere with a backdrop of the Lake District fells.

Address: Brathay Hall, Ambleside, LA22 0HP

In support of Brathay Trust Charity

We have chosen to support Brathay Trust, a charity who improve the lives of young people by inspiring them to engage positively in the outdoors & their communities.

As Ambassadors for movement, we believe Trail Pursuit can be a driving force in helping to educate young people to the benefits of time spent outside, both mentally & physically.
