The Full Story

What...

ChaseTheTrales is more than just a running event—it's a unique experience that brings together the thrill of the race with the joy of a well-earned ale. Our events are designed for runners of all levels, from seasoned athletes to casual joggers, who are looking for a different kind of challenge.

Our races take you through scenic trails, showcasing the natural beauty of the area, and finish with a vibrant post-race celebration. But here's the twist: we partner with local breweries to offer participants a selection of craft ales at the finish line. It’s our way of rewarding your hard work and ensuring that the fun continues long after you cross the finish line.

Why...

The inspiration behind ChaseTheTrales comes from a simple love of running and the community that surrounds it. Our founder, who admittedly will more likely be found "partying at the back", found himself more drawn to the camaraderie and unique experiences offered by the more unconventional running events.

After participating in a variety of races that focused on creating memorable experiences rather than just achieving a personal best, he realized there was something special about combining the challenge of a race with a social element. That’s when the idea for ChaseTheTrales was born—a way to make running more than just a solitary pursuit, but a celebration that brings people together.

Running is about more than just the physical activity; it’s about connecting with others, enjoying the journey, and celebrating every step of the way. We believe that a good run should end with great company, laughter, and maybe a pint or two. That’s why we’re committed to creating events that are as much about the experience as they are about the run itself.

How...

At ChaseTheTrales, we focus on delivering a well-rounded experience from start to finish. Here’s how we make it happen:

Unique Courses: Our races are set on carefully chosen trails that highlight the best of what nature has to offer. We select routes that are both challenging and breathtaking, ensuring that every race is an adventure in itself.
Local Collaboration: We’re proud to collaborate with local breweries, bringing the best craft ales to our post-race celebrations. This partnership not only enhances the experience for our participants but also supports local businesses and showcases the amazing talent in our community.
Inclusive Atmosphere: Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just getting started, our events are designed to be welcoming and inclusive. We believe that everyone should be able to enjoy the benefits of running and the joy of being part of a community.
Founder’s Vision: Our founder’s passion for creating memorable experiences is at the heart of everything we do. Even though he doesn’t claim to be a great runner, his love for sport and the social connections it fosters drives the ChaseTheTrales vision. His goal is to create events where everyone feels welcome, has a great time, and leaves with a sense of accomplishment and a smile.
Post-Race Celebrations: After the race, the fun is just beginning. We host lively gatherings at the finish line, complete with food, music, and, of course, our hand-picked selection of ales. It’s the perfect way to unwind, celebrate your achievements, and connect with fellow runners.
