The evaluation of the National Trail Trailblaze pilot was completed as planned by the end of 2012. The evaluation concluded that Natural England would no longer participate in or make further investment in the Trailblaze concept as piloted. This decision was arrived at primarily as a consequence of the continuing advances in GPS/mobile technology providing more convenient alternatives for endurance runners to measure and record their achievements, particularly for those only wishing to run shorter sections of the trails. We are working with the National Trail Officers and Endurance Life to remove the boxes from the trails over the course of the summer.
