Overview

A scenic Roman-themed trail race started by a Roman Centurion at East Farm and traveling through undulating footpaths and bridleways across Dorset farmland. The 10K travels along a scenic drove way in the heart of Dorset with an abundance of wildlife and flora, and the half marathon extends further traveling across downland and woodlands. Part of the race travels along an ancient Roman Road. Runners will tackle a magical route across private land, bridleways and footpaths. 

Runners can camp at East Farm over the weekend and enjoy the Saturday evening food and a cream tea from East Farm Shop. Camping can be booked at £12 per night per pitch.

Please note that dogs are allowed on the campsite, but ask that they do not accompany you on the run as there is livestock on route. 

All finishers will receive a medal and prize. Please can all runners provide a drinking vessel or bottle during the race.
