BC Marathon

Our marathon offers a circular journey through the breathtaking Shropshire hills, tracing parts of the Shropshire Way, passing through the Nipstone and Stiperstones National Nature Reserves, ascending The Long Mynd with its expansive views of the surroundings, and returning via various local footpaths to the charming market town of Bishop's Castle. Our event will be well marked and marshalled, but we do advise that the GPX is also downloaded. There will be 3 aid stations on route (all vegan friendly) stocked with water, flapjack, coke, lemomade, fruit, salty potatoes, sausage rolls and lots more, plus lots of friendly faces along the way to cheer you on. As per all of our events, there will be no cut off time, and no pressure. So, if you enter and are prepared to keep pushing forward to the end, we will be there with a smile, hug and your finishers medal. Weather permitting, this is also a dog friendly event, as we know many of you train with your four legged friends, all we ask is that they are kept under control and on a lead. Our mission is one of inclusiveness, with the aim of encouraging people to try their first ever long distance running event, whilst giving experienced runners a great day out on a fantastic course, with a friendly and happy vibe. This event will start and finish at the Church Barn, Bishop's Castle, where there are toilet and baggage facilties. Camping is also available at £10 per person, per night just up the Road at Foxholes Castle Caming. Please contact the campsite directly to book.
