Croome Capability Canter

Voted into the top 10 off-road races by readers of Runners World, the Croome Capability Canter is a 6.5 mile (10kish) multi-terrain race around the scenic Croome Park; designed by renowned 18th century landscape architect Lancelot “Capability” Brown.

Sunday 2nd February 2025

The original date in November 2024 was postponed - The National Trust closed the grounds due to the heavy storm winds. We appreciate that the new date is not ideal for many and we know that the date clashes with other events, some fairly local. Unfortunately we have to fit in with Croome's availability as well as the availability of marshals, volunteers, first aid, adjudicator, etc.

The new date is Sunday 2nd February 2025 at 9am. The route and format will largely be the same as previous years.
