Feedback from runners

‘The entire event was a welcome break from the pandemic – a small slice of normality we treasured after months of training alone. From the organisers to the volunteers and race marshals, the event felt wonderfully safe and a fine example of how races can return in the UK”.

 

 

 

Feedback from a recent participant:

“A huge thank you for an amazing Marathon and Half-Marathon – I participated in the Full Marathon and my husband ran in the Half. This was an exceptionally organised event – the support team were absolutely outstanding and their cheers of encouragement kept us both going. The route was beautiful and challenging at times but overall it was a fantastic experience. Thank-you so much”

The Race

We are delighted to offer 6 race options for 2026

The St Giles Estate is situated in a beautiful location in Cranborne Chase – an area designated as a National Landscape (AONB). We are excited about sharing this with you. Extensive planning and testing has gone into the routes, to offer a fantastic running experience.

All routes will start and finish from St Giles House, Wimborne and wind through the heart of the estate. The multi-terrain courses offer some of the most scenic running experiences in the country, with a blend of compact gravel, trail sections, farm tracks, grass and small areas of tarmac.
