Guardians of the CODRC is a trail running event based at The Unicorn Inn in Little Dawley, Telford. The event takes runners through the historic Ironbridge Gorge and surrounding Shropshire countryside, with marathon, half marathon and 8 mile distances following a lap based course from the same race headquarters.
Runners complete one, two or three laps depending on their chosen distance, with the 8 mile race covering one lap, the half marathon option covering two and the marathon completing three. The trail route provides a varied challenge through the Ironbridge Gorge, with changing terrain and the repeated lap format allowing runners to become increasingly familiar with the course as their race progresses.
With three distances available, Guardians of the CODRC provides options for runners looking for anything from an 8 mile trail challenge to a full marathon. The event combines a distinctive Ironbridge setting with a friendly, low key atmosphere and a choice of distances for different levels of endurance. All finishers receive an event medal to mark their completion of the course.
