The historic homestead at the start/finish area offers hearty food and refreshments, creating a welcoming atmosphere for athletes and supporters.
The Woodlands Trail Run supports Canteen, a charity for young people affected by cancer, with donations made per participant. Bib collection and event guides are provided on race day, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience for all.
