About This Event
BigHeat Camp-Fire stands as the third event in BigFeat's Classic Element Trail Series, embodying the raw power of fire through challenging trail runs across West Sussex's sun-baked landscapes. This weekend festival combines serious trail running with a vibrant camping atmosphere, featuring routes that wind through The Serpent Trail, across Blackdown, and past The Temple of the Winds. Based at Mill Farm in the picturesque village of Lurgashall, the event offers a complete trail running experience that extends well beyond the races themselves. Runners can enjoy wild sauna sessions, yoga classes, live music around firepits, and the camaraderie that comes with a weekend spent entirely outdoors. The event village becomes a hub of activity where dusty, satisfied runners gather to share stories and recover together. The festival atmosphere sets BigHeat apart from traditional trail races, creating what the organizers call "Down to Earth Type 2 Fun." With camping available from Friday through Sunday, massage services, food vendors, and evening entertainment, this event appeals to runners seeking both physical challenge and genuine community connection in the Surrey Hills countryside.
