Event Overview
The 2026 Cider Challenge SOLO is a timed trail event held on Saturday, 18 July 2026. Participants navigate a course set entirely on a privately owned farm at Myncen Farm in Blandford Forum, Dorset. The terrain consists of grass, fields, wild flowers, crops, and dusty tracks.
The event is designed with an open format where participants of all abilities can run or walk for up to 12 hours. The objective is to complete as many laps as desired within the permitted time. Finishers who complete at least one lap are eligible for a medal and additional event goodies.
Course and Format
The route features an undulating trail profile. Because it is a 12 hour challenge, participants have the flexibility to determine their own distance by choosing how many laps to finish. The event takes place in a relaxed atmosphere and is open to individual runners aged 18 and over.
