A beginner’s guide to trail running holidays

What do Contours provide?

• We book your holiday. We reserve all your overnight accommodation, breakfasts included, and arrange daily luggage transfers and any lifts you might need between your accommodation and the trail.
• We tailor your itinerary. If there are changes you’d like to make to your itinerary, like staying somewhere for an extra night or running only a portion of a route, let us know and we’ll be happy to discuss your options with you.
• We provide all the instructions required to lead your way through the countryside. Our custom holiday packs include maps and guidebooks, plus a bespoke information pack detailing your overnight stays and how to reach them from the trail. Our beginner-friendly holidays are generally well waymarked, meaning you’ll have signposts and trail markers to follow as well.
• We look out for you throughout. Our friendly office is open 9.00-17.30 British local time from Monday-Saturday, and our dedicated emergency line operates 24/7 so you can always get in touch. But most of all we know and are in touch with your accommodations, so in the unlikely event of any problems while you’re out on your run, we can resolve them before you even have to worry.
• We offer loyalty discounts. If you’re hoping to get into the trail running habit, or if you’ve already built a long wishlist of trails to explore, our loyalty scheme could come in handy, offering percentage discounts on all Contours adventures after you’ve completed two holidays with us.

In short, we arrange everything you need to enjoy running a point-to-point trail, leaving all the flexibility required to make the journey your own.
