What you’re in for
A June weekend based in the village of Sydling St Nicholas, north of Dorchester. The marathon and 10K run on the Saturday and the half marathon on the Sunday. All routes cross the chalk hills of the Sydling and Cerne valleys, with steep climbs and sharp descents. This is a tough course and not one for a fast time. The village supplies evening meals and a barn dance, and there is camping on Friday and Saturday nights. The marathon starts at 9:00 with a 7.5 hour cut-off, the 10K at 10:30 and the half at 10:30 on Sunday with a 4 hour cut-off.
