The Turd

July the Turd is a fun running event held in the scenic valley of Ironbridge, Shropshire, starting from Coalport Village Hall. Participants can choose from three distances: 7 miles, 14 miles (half marathon), or a full marathon. The marathon involves three laps of the course, while the half marathon covers two laps.

The route features a mix of tracks and paths, suitable for road shoes, and is not on the Railway Line course. The event offers on-site parking and a friendly atmosphere, with ice cream and a unique "poo" medal awarded to all finishers, adding a playful touch to the race experience.
