GIANTS HEAD MARATHON WEEKEND

Welcome to the amazing Giants Head Marathon Weekend!

This incredibly popular event has won several awards for Britain’s Best Marathon over the years. So what makes it so special? We take over the village of Sydling St Nicholas in Dorset for the weekend, with the villagers welcoming the runners and making you part of the community! This unique combination works incredibly well and we are thrilled to bring you such an exciting programme.


This event weekend provides something for all the family, with the Marathon and 10K on the Saturday, a barn dance in the village hall for those who can still walk on Saturday evening, and then the brilliantly fun LittleFeet Bell Race and Half Marathon on the Sunday.

The LittleFeet Bell Race challenges anyone, children included, to reach the top of the hill and complete a task set by a team member. Then, you run down the hill with your bell clonking away like an Alpine Cow!

All routes are challenging and hilly, running through the Sydling and Cerne valleys. It's certainly not for the faint hearted; it's a tough race, with some steep climbs, sharp descents and the most amazing views to reward yourself with.

The village will once again be providing food for you on Friday and Saturday evening. These options can be booked alongside your event entry.
