Running & Spa Day at Champneys
Chiltern Hills, UK
The Chiltern Hills, with winding woodland paths, open ridgelines, and views that stretch for miles. Proof that a good adventure doesn’t always require mountains.
Trail Running & Spa Day in the Chilterns
Set in the beautiful Hertfordshire countryside, Champneys Tring provides the perfect setting for a day combining running, relaxation and a little time out.
We’ll start the day with a guided group run through the surrounding countryside, led by experienced runners and designed to suit a range of abilities. Along the way, there’ll be plenty of practical running tips and guidance, with the emphasis on enjoying the run rather than chasing a particular pace.
After the run, it’s time to slow things down and enjoy the rest of the day at Champneys, with access to the spa and fitness facilities and lunch included.
A chance to run, recharge and enjoy a day away from the everyday.

The day is all about combining a great run with plenty of time to relax and recover.
We’ll meet at Champneys Tring in the morning before heading out for a guided run of approximately 15km through the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside. Led by qualified England Athletics Run Leaders and Coaches, the run will be relaxed and sociable, with practical running tips and guidance along the way. The exact pace will depend on the group, with the emphasis firmly on enjoying the run rather than chasing a particular time.
Back at Champneys, the rest of the day is yours to enjoy. Refuel over lunch before making the most of the spa and fitness facilities, with plenty of time to swim, sauna, steam or simply relax. You can also join one of Champneys’ fitness classes or book a spa treatment if you’d like to add a little more to your day.
It’s a chance to meet other runners, enjoy some miles together and then spend the afternoon doing very little at all.

Sometimes the best running days aren’t about going further or faster.
The Stridely Run & Spa Day is designed to give you the best of both worlds: time outside enjoying a good run with good company, followed by an afternoon with nowhere else you need to be.
Run. Refuel. Relax.
