Croft Ambrey Running Club Presents

The Hillfort Hustle

10 Mile and 5 Mile Trail Race
11 a.m. Sunday 20th July 2025

Timing by readysetgo 

New for 2025. The Hillfort Hustle is a challenging but beautiful run through North Herefordshire countryside including a climb up to the Iron Age Hillfort at Croft Ambrey. Starting opposite the Riverside Inn at Aymestrey, the run takes in the pretty village of Leinthall Earls before entering the private Gatley Estate which has given special permission for the race to enjoy their wonderful grounds.

Shortly after the climb is on - up to the Hilfort and some glorious views before starting the descent to home. It might just be the one of the most beautiful and rewarding races in the country. There's the Half Hustle offering a shorter, 5 mile route, but don't worry, the runners still get to tackle the climb up to the Hillfort!  

There's a bespoke medal for all finishers and plenty of food and drink options after the race. 

Parking is close to the start/finish.

There will be chipped timing provided by Ready Set Go!

Prizes will be awarded for top 3 male and female finishers, for all veteran 5 year age categories and for male and female teams of 3 in a short presentation when all the runners have crossed the finish line. There will be one prize per runner.

Minimum age for entries is 17 years of age on race day for the 10 mile Hustle and 16 for the half Hustle. 

We regret that we are not able to offer refunds for this event, however pre-registered entries can be transferred to another runner.

Online entries are limited to 300.
