Larmer Tree Gardens, Tollard Royal, Salisbury, SP5 5PY
We return to the Wiltshire Downs for the Spring Larmer races once again. Thank you to the Rushmore Estate for letting us run round their backyard. Based at the beautiful Larmer Tree Gardens, one of Britain’s poshest race venues, we’ve got five epic trail races for you. They're a bit hilly; it might be a bit moist underfoot with mud…. or it might be beautiful weather! Who knows?
These trail races are great season openers, so if you're just starting out on your running journey we have our 7- or 10-mile routes to show you what it's all about. If you're training for marathon season, the half-marathon or 20-mile races are great preparation. Or go the full hog with the marathon route! If you're not sure what to expect from this set of fantastic trail races, check out a review of the 2022 event.
Saturday: 7 Mile, Dog-Friendly 7 Mile, 20 Mile and Marathon
Sunday: 10 Mile, Dog-Friendly 10 Mile and Half Marathon
When you enter our races you will be able to opt out of receiving your finisher's goodies, which we usually hand out at the end of the race. Instead, the cost of your goody bag will be donated to the Wilder Dorset Appeal, and you can read more about that project here. If you don’t opt out, you will still get your goody bag, and you can optionally choose to make a personal contribution if you wish here. Every runner still gets a medal.
To keep up to date on all the information on the event, make sure you've followed the Facebook Event.
