Discover the Clarendon Challenge: Off-Road Majesty and Historic Trails Await
If you are looking for a marathon which is off road, picturesque and challenging then running the Clarendon is the ultimate. Our route takes you from Salisbury to Winchester along the ancient Clarendon Way with a few extra turns here and there to make up a full 26.2 miles.
More than 90% is off road, with the trail following country tracks and paths - many of which have not changed since being travelled by the ancient Kings and Queens of England.

Why not run the 'Mini' only the last 5 miles!
This is a great opportunity to join other friends that are running in the full event.
Starting Point : middle of Farley Mount Country Park
Starting Time : 1.15pm (bus leaves Kings School Winchester at 12.30pm)
The Mini is a very informal run. The cost is inclusive of a bus pass to get there and when you have completed the run you will also be given your T-shirt and medal.
This is a great opportunity to join other friends that are running in the full event. It will also be a good starting point for very young runners who would like to get a feel for what it is all about. Maybe this year you can run the mini, next year the half marathon, and the year after you can attempt the full marathon distance.
