Trail Sessions 2.0 - 15/03/2025




Trail Sessions 2.0 - 15/03/2025
Join Interval, The Free Company, and Nnormal on Saturday, 15th March for a day of trail running, delicious food, and community celebration.
We’re thrilled to be teaming up with Nnormal for Trail Sessions 2.0. Founded in 2022 by legendary trail runner Kilian Jornet, Nnormal is redefining performance gear with a focus on sustainability—because the longer we use our kit, the less impact we have on the planet. On the day, Nnormal will have a demo pool of trail shoes allowing you the chance to test their cutting-edge footwear. Alongside this, Interval will have a pop-up shop with Nnormal apparel and footwear – including the launch of the much-anticipated Kjerag Brut.
RUN WITH US
Whether you’re a seasoned trail runner or lacing up for the first time, our guided runs are open to all abilities. Expect stunning routes, great company, and plenty of encouragement along the way.
There will be three route options; 8km, 12km and 17km.
Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join the adventure—just be mindful of livestock and other runners.
EAT & DRINK
Start the day with fresh tea, coffee, and pastries—the perfect fuel before hitting the trails. After your run, gather around for a seasonal communal feast prepared by The Free Company. Your ticket includes a two-course meal, crafted with ingredients grown and raised on the farm—hearty, nourishing, and made to be shared.
MENU
Dexter Steak Pie or Vegetarian Pie

At the bar, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of natural and organic wines, local beers, seasonal cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks—the perfect way to round off the day.
