EXPLORING THE NEW COUNTESSWELLS TRAILS

Countesswells Woods are still recovering from Storm Arwen back in 2021, but some fantastic new trails have been laid out this year, which are ideal for running.

The appearance of much of the area has changed beyond recognition, but it's still a fantastic place to run. 

We'll make full use of the variety of terrain the Woods have to offer by putting together a session which combines some fast flat efforts with a few testing uphill climbs. 

This workout is suitable for all runners, regardless of your pace. Whether you can run 5k in 16min or 36min, you will find this beneficial.

We are a friendly group and always keen to welcome newcomers - so come along  - and bring a friend.

Coaching, encouragement and good advice will be on hand throughout.

TUESDAY 12th MAY 2026 6pm to 7pm

Location:  There's ample free parking and our meeting point will be at a small parking area just off North Countesswells Road (see map for exact location). There's plenty of on-street parking in the vicinity. 

You can, of course, use the official Forestry car park, but there is a £2 charge for parking there. 

Cost: £6 per person.
