Race Date: Saturday 31st October 2026
Race Report by Julia Neri

There’s something very therapeutic about a long run at the end of a busy working week.

That’s how I spent my Saturday at the Linacre Infini Trail Run. Eight laps around the beautiful Linacre Reservoirs, a marathon(ish) and around 800 metres of ascent, all in perfect autumn weather. The colours were absolutely gorgeous. Someone thinks that the same loop eight times would get boring, but I actually find it quite relaxing.

I finished in 4:01:49, 17th overall. A special congratulations to Sian Watson, who won outright with an incredible 12 laps (60k) in 5:44:33, setting a new female course record! Luke Murphy was the first male with 11 laps (55k) in 5:45:50.

A lovely event, beautiful scenery and a perfect way to finish the week. Thanks to First Light Adventure for organising it!
