Dirt Half Challenge

The Dirt Half Challenge is a popular half marathon trail race held in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire. This award-winning autumn event features a stunning and challenging course that begins in the historic market town and includes an anti-clockwise lap of Tiddenfoot Waterside Park. Runners then follow the scenic Grand Union Canal towpath north to Stoke Hammond, climb through countryside to Great Brickhill, pass through Rushmere Country Park woodland, and return via the Greensand Ridge and canal towpath, finishing with a clockwise lap of Tiddenfoot Waterside Park.

The race offers a mix of towpath, off-road hills, woods, and a boggy floodplain, supported by excellent marshals and first aid. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
