Intergalactic

View all races for Mar 2027

Prepare for a running adventure that's out of this world at Intergalactic, a Beastie Boys and space-inspired event set in the beautiful surroundings of Hurn Forest in Dorset. Organised by Long Player Running, this inclusive challenge welcomes runners of all abilities, from beginners tackling their first 5K to experienced endurance athletes aiming for marathon or ultra-marathon distances. With the freedom to choose how far to run, participants can set their own goals in a relaxed and supportive environment.

The event follows a scenic out-and-back route along the main forest track, with each lap measuring approximately 5.3K. Runners can complete as many circuits as they wish within the seven-hour time limit, enjoying peaceful woodland surroundings and well-maintained, hardstanding trails. With flexible start times and opportunities to take breaks between laps, the format allows participants to tackle the challenge at their own pace.

Adding to the fun, Intergalactic embraces its distinctive musical and space-inspired theme, with a specially curated soundtrack and themed refreshments at the Run DMC aid station. Sweet and savoury snacks provide plenty of fuel between laps, while finishers completing at least one circuit receive a themed medal. Whether chasing a new distance milestone or simply enjoying a run beneath the trees, this is a running experience with a difference.
