WE RUN EALING - Ealing Trail Runs

Scroll down for details of our latest Ealing Trail Run.

Inspired by Hampshire based trail running community Blended Trails, WE RUN EALING offers regular guided trail runs in an around Ealing.

Even in suburban West London, we believe there are tonnes of hidden trails and secret paths than can be explored on foot.

Every other month (or so) our guided social runs on Sunday mornings showcase new routes and off-road trails around the local area. The runs are at a ‘chatty’ pace, and everyone is welcome. We always have a leader and tail runner, so no one gets left behind. The routes are usually a mixture of paths and trails with minimal tarmac sections. Trail running shoes might be advisable if the weather has been wet. It could be muddy!

Please keep an eye on our social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram and Strava) for any last minute adjustments due to the weather or anything else unforseen.

We always welcome volunteers who would like to be a guide runner on our Ealing Trail Runs. Speak to the run leader at the next run to find out what is involved.

Our latest guided social run is on Sunday 19 October 2025, 9am.

More details to follow nearer the time.

Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather; footwear that you are happy to wear off-road in potential wet and muddy conditions and bring your own hydration and nutrition as you require. Trail shoes are recommended. Bag drop and toilets are not usually available at the meet point and there is no medical / first aid support during the run. All runners are responsible for their own safety. We Run Ealing will provide volunteers to run as part of the group to support other runners but they are not pacers. We Run Ealing cannot accept any responsibility for events and incidents that may occur during the run.
