Blue Castle Run is a 7 mile trail race based at The Blue Pool near Wareham in Dorset. Part of the Purbeck Trail Series, the event takes runners through the distinctive landscapes of the Purbeck countryside, combining woodland trails, open heathland and scenic views across the surrounding hills.

The course begins and finishes at The Blue Pool, following a varied route through ancient woodland, ridges and valleys. Runners encounter hills, heathland and occasional views of historic castles, with two passages around the striking blue-green waters of the former clay pit. The changing terrain provides a demanding but rewarding challenge, with the course direction varying between editions.
