The Unicorn Run

How Hard Can It Be Events presents The Unicorn Run (aka Jaynes 200th), a multi-distance race around the Ironbridge valley in Shropshire. Based at The Unicorn Inn in Little Dawley, Telford, participants choose 8 miles, 16 miles (Metric Marathon), or a full marathon. The marathon is three laps; the 16-mile option is two laps.

The route blends tracks, footpaths and quiet roads, and road shoes will be sufficient. Parking is nearby, and the venue bills it as the “race from the pub,” with Unicorn Bling awarded to all finishers. Next race: 29 November 2025.

It also emphasizes a social, pub-themed atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
