Set in the stunning Cranborne Chase, near the Hampshire and Wiltshire borders, this race offers the perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment.

As you run, you’ll explore rolling hills, scenic countryside and the beautiful Wimborne St Giles Estate.

The varied terrain keeps every mile interesting. Therefore, it’s ideal for runners stepping up from shorter distances or chasing a new personal challenge.

In addition, the atmosphere is friendly and supportive.

But there’s more…

The final 100m becomes a race of its own.

The fastest runner over this section wins a separate prize.

So, wherever you are in the main race, you still have a chance to win.
