Balgone 5km Run
This run is a mixture of quiet roads, farm tracks and the John Muir Way path. The course takes you around the Balgone Estate passing the beautiful ponds backed by the sharp cliff face.

We’re starting at Balgone for a 18km (approximately) run following parts of the John Muir Way. This one could be a full on sprint as it is flat all the way, perfect to warm you up on a crisp winter morning.
Starting on the Balgone farm site and winding your way amongst the woods and fields this run is multi-terrain with a mixture of groomed paths and proper muddy farmland, so choose your footwear carefully and tie your laces tight ready to fly along this flat course.
