Bacchus Wine Half Marathon &10KM
2023-09-10 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Denbies Wine Estate, Dorking, Surrey, RH5 6AA
Date: Sunday 10th September 2023

Set in stunning surroundings of the North Downs, Bacchus has rapidly become one of the must-do events on the UK running calendar. Most of the field turns out in fancy dress, and bands and other musical entertainment are around the course. Still, the drinks stations on the route separate Bacchus from other running races and epitomizes the event’s spirit.

You will have the chance to sample six fabulous award-winning English wines at five drinks stations along the course (you visit one station twice, going out and coming back) with food and soft drinks to accompany them. If you are running 10K, you’ll visit two of the wine stations. More food, drink, and music are waiting for you at the finish at the post-race hog roast, where the party carries on long into the evening.

Unfortunately, there will be no Marathon in 2023. As numbers in the full Marathon distance start to dwindle we felt we could no longer fully support the marathon runners without compromising the Half Marathon or 10K.

START WAVES

There will be eleven start waves, the first seven for the Half Marathon runners starting at 9:30 am. Subsequent waves will be set off in 10-minute intervals. There will be three 10K start waves starting at 10:40 am. You will need to pre-select your wave to be sure of starting with your friends. The children’s fun run has one start wave at 11:05 am.

TOILETS

For 2023, as well as ample toilets in the car park and behind the main building at the start/finish area, we will have portable toilets on the route at two different locations.

BAGGAGE

A secure baggage area is behind the main marquee to the right of Denbies’ main building. You will be asked to approach the start by walking through the marquee and will therefore pass the baggage area on your way to the start. After finishing, reverse your direction and pass the baggage again before entering the marquee, which hosts the post-race hog roast.

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT

There will be bands or musical entertainment at each of the drinks stations and at other sections of the course. A DJ will also be playing at The Hog Roast in the finish area.

HEADPHONE POLICY

As we are not running on any public highways (although there is one road to cross in two places), we allow headphones to be used. Still, it is your responsibility to make sure you listen to any instructions from marshals, and you wear headphones entirely at your own risk.

The Great Buddhist Trek & Marathon is a unique event not to be missed!

I will let this year’s runners do the speaking for me:

“It was easy to “list” the trip as the best holiday I can ever remember ….. by a long way”

“It was honestly a really unique experience, and I will be basking in the warmth of the Nepalese people we met in the villages for weeks to come”.

“That was a truly humbling and amazing experience; we have such a great bunch of people on the event that made it even more special”

“You must be so proud of what you’ve created with Binay. It really is the most unbelievable experience, and we were so honoured to be part of it”.

“It was unlike any trip I have ever been on, and I am thoroughly in awe of the people I met and the work you are all doing out there”.

“Thank you one and all, it’s been a privilege to do this amazing trip with you. It was beyond our expectations in every way”.

“What an amazing and profound week. Utterly humbled by everything I’ve seen and everyone I’ve met I’ve been to a lot of places and met a lot of people, but the last week has been something truly special and exceptional”

Farnborough Winter Half Marathon & 5K
2024-01-21 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Farnborough Business Park, The Hub, Business Park, Fowler Ave, Farnborough GU14 7JP, UK
Entry for the 2024 Farnborough Winter Half Marathon will open on March 1. There is a limit of 2500 entries in the event.

Entries sold out in November 2022 for 2023, so enter early to guarantee your place in the field.

In 2023, the Farnborough Winter Half Marathon once again took place on its traditional date at the end of January. After a brief sojourn as a summer Half in 2021 we really enjoy returning to a winter event permanently again. For those who remember the icy chill conditions of the inaugural event in 2017 or the snow of 2018, the weather in 2023 was just as cold! There were some phenomenal times, at the front and all the way down the field: there were four runners (in 2022) under 65 minutes – all inside the old course record – and nearly 200 inside 90 minutes. This year’s race was no different with more extremely fast times across the board!

Farnborough is generally the first major half marathon of the season so the weather will always be a roll of the dice in January, but now we know just how fast the route is, we expect it to be even more popular than usual. The 2024 race is confirmed as a qualifying race for the England Athletics Masters Programme, giving Masters Athletes an opportunity to earn their England Age Group Masters vest. See here for more details.

For those of you not familiar with the route, it is a fast, largely flat, traffic-free course, starting and finishing at the historic Airship Hangar adjacent to Farnborough Airport. It is the same route as the previous three editions, taking in a delightful semi-rural circuit which broadly circles Farnborough airport in an anti-clockwise direction.

From its inception in 2017, the event has been very popular with local runners and those from further afield looking for an early race to test their winter fitness. The main race is limited to 2500 runners and generally sells out early so don’t delay if you are thinking of running. Entries will be closed when we have reached our limit. Since it helps with our planning we incentivize you to enter early:

Super Early Bird

First 500 entries (or up to May 31, 2023, at the latest) UKA Affiliated £28 Non-Affiliated £30

As in 2024, the event will also incorporate a 5K, which uses part of the same route, starting 20 minutes after the half marathon. That in turn is followed by a children’s run, a free-to-enter 800m Fun Run on an out-and-back section of the first part of the half marathon course.

LONGLEAT 10K, WILTS 2024
2024-01-28 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Longleat House, Warminster BA12 7NW, UK, United Kingdom
If you’re looking for a traffic-free 10K in a stunning setting, then look no further than the Longleat 10K; starting in front of the magnificence of Longleat House, the race takes in the estates’ private and traffic-free roads, with only a short excursion of 400m on public highways as you pass the Bath Arms Public House before the final mile downhill to the finish.

The route is undulating to hilly, with a significant climb tackled twice: once soon after the start and the second towards the end. Your reward for that second climb though is the final downhill run along Lodge Drive towards Longleat House and the finish.

For children and family or friends, we welcome you to enter the Longleat 2-Mile Fun Run. This popular support event covers the first lap of the 10K up the hill through to the Bath Arms finishing with the magnificent run down Lodge Drive before crossing the line.

Entries will close when we reach the entry limit of 1600 runners in the 10K (the 2-mile race is limited to 100 runners)

Start time 10 am (for both 10K and 2 miles – 2-mile runners finish after the first lap)

Not sure? Well, the beauty of this format is that you don’t even need to decide in advance � simply come and run a lap and see how you feel on the day and keep on going if it feels right.

Places will be strictly limited, so don’t leave it too late to enter.

FROZEN LAKE RUN, MARATHON AND HALF MARATHON
2024-03-24 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/London) | Tisela Fjord ifjorden, United Kingdom
The Frozen Lake Marathon and Half Marathon is a unique running event, it’s the only one we know about that is run entirely on water. Fortunately, the waters of the Tisela Fjord in Norway at the end of March are frozen, so it’s less challenging than it could be. But it’s still a challenge. Running on snow and ice is a skill in itself but one that you can quickly master.
It’s one lap of the 21.1k course for the half-marathon or twice around if you are running the full marathon. The Icebug Frozen Lake Marathon is limited to 500 runners of all abilities. Once you’ve mastered ice running you should be able to cover the distance quickly because this is the flattest race you’ll ever run and an experience you’ll never forget.
Tisela Fjord Jorden is located 819 meters above sea level in the Norwegian municipalities of Gol and Hemsedal, which is 200K north of Oslo.
For the most part, the ice on the lake is about 80 cm thick – with a carrying capacity of up to 30 tons. The course is plotted by a support team of ice experts who monitor the lake closely in the days leading up to the event and throughout the race. For maximum safety, the final course is laid out just days before the race starts. Among other things, the lake is used for testing vehicle tires, emergency vehicles, and drivers who want to test their skills in icy conditions, so it’s not going to struggle to support the weight of 500 runners!
Transport from Oslo
We have a dedicated bus transfer that will take you from Oslo airport to the hotel Oset, the race HQ and your base throughout your four-night stay in Norway
