Event overview
The Dalwood 3 Hills event takes place on 15 February 2026 in Dalwood, near Axminster (Dalwood Village Hall, EX13 7EG). The event offers three distances:
- 10 miles
- 5 km
- 3 km
The courses run across multi-terrain countryside and include hills, muddy sections and river crossings. The 3 km distance, called the Dalwood Doddle, is described as a shorter family-oriented route with open fields and a trail section. The 5 km Dalwood Dash is a shorter, hillier, muddy version of the longer course.
Practical information
Age limits follow England Athletics and Trail Running Association guidance: the 10-mile course is for participants aged 17 or over, the 5 km for those 12 or over, and the 3 km has no minimum age. Entry fees vary by affiliation: 10 miles (£15 affiliated, £17 non-affiliated), 5 km (£5 affiliated, £7 non-affiliated), 3 km (£3 affiliated, £5 non-affiliated). Entry-on-the-day costs may be higher.
Race HQ is Dalwood Village Hall. Facilities include toilets, a bag drop (bags left at own risk), refreshments for sale, and on-site medical cover. Parking is rural and may require a walk of up to 20 minutes or a short minibus ride to HQ; parking marshals will direct drivers. There is a water station on the 10-mile course only; the event aims to be cupless so participants are asked to bring a personal cup if needed. No mandatory kit is required, though trail shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are recommended. There are no maximum time limits for the courses.
