The Route
10th October 2020
COVID 19
.Hi you luverly people. Before you read all about this grand day out in the countryside we just wanna inform you of some of the measures that we are currently looking to be implementing at this year's event:
...
Supplying gloves and masks for all event staff.
Cough protection screens in place at Registration and at all the Aid Stations.
"On the day" Safety briefing to be included in the Final Race Day information and sent via email.
Staggered registration and start times with groups of no more than 30 runners at a time
Social Distancing to be maintained by all at all times inside the Race HQ, the main marquee, and at Aid Stations on the route.
Max of only 2 runners at a time to be allowed in to the Aid Station gazebo's out on the route (we know this may create a bit of a wait at the Aid Stations......but we feel it is in everyone's best interests)
Medals to be laid out and collected by runners themselves when they finish..... only virtual handshakes and back slapping from the RD this year afraid
Prize winners to have their prize sent via post (as there is likely to be a staggered start then working out who has come first will not be a simple 'first across the line' equation)
We may need some, or all, of the above. Right now we really don't know.
To celebrate the 3rd annual outing of this event we have elected to reverse the much loved route of previous years
Starting at the National Trust in Tisbury, nestled in the heart of the Nadder Valley and smack bang in the centre of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs AONB, the route will take you through some of the most truly stunning and visually stimulating countryside that the South West has to offer. ......nay........correct that......that the entire country as to offer. You will find yourself making your way around the Fonthill Estate and the Vale of Wardour for approximately 32.29 miles .....OK, we know that is a soupcon over 50K.... and completing an overall elevation of approximately 3430 ft.. Eventually (after a few bonus miles no doubt), you will end up exactly right back where you started your journey in Tisbury. Much hilarity and back slapping will then commence.
Each season of the year brings it's own beauty to this route .......You don't want to miss this......We don't want you to miss this either.

There will be 4 fully stocked aid station in total - three on the route itself. and a further one at the Finish Point (where a free hot meal will also be available) This will give you approximately 8 miles of running/walking/sauntering/ charging downhill/crawling uphill in between food & water stops, It's not really a 'run'..............more of a 'mobile picnic' really.
