Two countryside races. One Dorset village. A very good excuse for a fête.
Corscombe Trail Races are a new community trail-running event based in the West Dorset village of Corscombe.
The first event takes place on Saturday 12 June 2027, alongside the annual Corscombe Village Fête, with approximately 11K and 5K routes through the lanes, trails, fields and surrounding countryside.
The races are being organised by Corscombe Running Group with support from the local community.
The races are taking place alongside Corscombe Village Fête, so crossing the finish line doesn’t have to mean heading straight home.
Runners, families and supporters can stay in the village for the fête, food, drinks and the rest of the day’s activities.
The aim is to make the races part of a wider village day rather than a standalone commercial running event.
A community event
Corscombe Trail Races grew out of our small local running group and are being built with help from people and organisations around the village.
We’re deliberately keeping the first event relatively small, friendly and local. Volunteers, local businesses, landowners and community groups are all helping to make it possible.
Entries and updates
Full race information, entry details and updates are available through Eventrac.
We’ll also share news, route updates, volunteer opportunities and the occasional behind-the-scenes look at putting the event together through Corscombe Running Group.
