Larmer Tree Marathon and Running Races
The event is based at the Larmer Tree Gardens on the Rushmore Estate and takes place on 7 March 2027. The Larmer Tree Gardens serve as the start and finish and also host race registration; participants may explore the gardens after the event. The route runs through the wider Rushmore Estate within the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, crossing chalk valleys, tree-lined avenues, elevated ridges and woodlands.
Courses are trail routes on private estate land with a mix of open grassland, woodland and estate roads. Routes are well marked and marshalled, with published route maps and GPX files. Waves of about 100 runners are used for starts and entrants may select a wave at registration.
Feed stations and on-course support vary by distance: water and electrolyte drinks plus a mix of food including gluten free, dairy free and vegan options are provided at multiple feast stations; coke is available in later marathon stages. Medical support and marshals are present. Facilities at the site include toilets, coffee and food vans and a bag drop; there are no changing rooms. Professional photos are available to purchase after the event.
Parking is charged at £10 per car. Nearest train stations are Tisbury (10 miles), Gillingham (12 miles) and Salisbury (13 miles). Race medals are awarded to finishers of 5 km and longer with a large two-sided medal for those distances.
