Three countryside runs. One Dorset village. A very good excuse for a fête.
Corscombe Trail Races is a new community running event inspired by Corscombe Running Group, taking place alongside the traditional Corscombe Village Fête.
We're bringing runners of all ages and abilities together to enjoy the beautiful West Dorset countryside, with three events to choose from.
Our races
Our races
11K Trail Race — 10:00
Our flagship route takes runners through the countryside around Corscombe, West Chelborough and Halstock, with woodland trails, fields, hills and plenty of variety. Minimum age 17.
5K Trail Race — 10:30
A shorter countryside challenge through fields, rural tracks and public footpaths. Ideal for newcomers to trail racing and runners who prefer a shorter distance. Minimum age 14.
2K Family Run — 12:00
A friendly, approximately 2 km countryside run for children, families and anyone looking for a gentler challenge. Open to ages 4 and over, with children aged 4–7 accompanied by a responsible adult. The start follows completion and clearance of the adult races.
Every finisher receives a medal!
All three events start and finish at Corscombe Court.

More than just a race
More than just a race
The races take place alongside the annual Corscombe Village Fête, so crossing the finish line doesn't have to mean heading straight home.
Runners, families and supporters are encouraged to stay for refreshments, village activities and the celebrations.
Run the trails. Finish at Corscombe Court. Stay for the fête.
A community event
A community event
Corscombe Trail Races grew out of our informal running group and are being developed with the support of Corscombe Fundraising Committee, FOSSA, Little Acorns Preschool, local businesses, landowners and volunteers.
The event is being organised on a not-for-profit basis.
After event costs, liabilities and agreed reserves, the distributable surplus is intended to be shared equally between Little Acorns Preschool, FOSSA and Corscombe Fundraising Committee.
Our ambition is simple: put on a proper trail race, celebrate our countryside and give something back to the community.

More than just the race
More than just the race
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.
