THREE UNFORGETTABLE RUNNING EVENTS.
Visit event Town to Trail
Bournemouth's only trail running event.
Start in the heart of Bournemouth Square and within minutes you're running through pines, parkland and quiet trails that feel miles away from everything. A perfect introduction to trail running.
Visit event The Doomsday Race
A wild run across the Charborough Estate.
A trail race through 600 acres of ancient, oppressive woodland at Charborough Estate. 10K, Half Marathon and Relay — a deliberate act of character building. No PB here, only doom.
Visit event Beat the Ferry
A coastal ultra along the Purbeck peninsula.
Studland Beach, Old Harry Rocks, the South West Coast Path and Corfe Castle. Beat the Ferry (a real runner starting from the back) to earn bragging rights and a prize at Race HQ.
Race-day timing that just works.
Our in-house chip timing system powers every Eightmile event — from bib collection to the finish line, live tracking and instant online results. Available for your event too.
Are you race ready?
Free, expert-written guides for every Dorset race we love. Kit, pacing, aid stations, parking, weather calls and race-morning rituals — everything you need to feel prepared on the start line.
On the trails
Photos, updates and race-day moments from the Dorset running community.
Every runner helps protect the trails.
We work with local groups to support real, visible improvements — repairing, clearing and maintaining our open spaces.
We prioritise low-impact race design and a strict "leave no trace" policy for all runners and crew, targeting zero net impact on sensitive sites.
