Love Trails is the original and best fitness festival. Combining running, wild adventures, wellbeing, street food and music into a sensory stimulating few days, the festival has perfected a blueprint started with their debut edition in 2016. Acclaimed for its breathtaking location on a beautiful seaside peninsula in South Wales—which this year boasts a new campsite and car park closer to the main arena—Love Trails Festival invites you to explore the UK’s finest beaches, tidal islands, ancient woodland and stunning coastal sights on runs starting and finishing at the festival site.
This comprehensive festival also offers a range of yoga and fitness classes from sunrise yoga to pop-pilates, hot tubs, a sauna and plunge pool, and wild swimming next to a diverse array of workshops. These include; a vegan cooking workshop with the Dirty Vegan (Matt Pritchard from ITVs Dirty Sanchez), post run nutrition workshops, exercise on the brain, how to run trails with Salomon, strength & conditioning, and microadventures amongst many more.
