This venue offers loads of inside space with loos and hot showers as well as a large area of hard parking. Access could not be easier, being only 3 miles from Salisbury city centre.
The Race on the Chase has already gained a strong reputation with runners for its great trails, views and friendly atmosphere. The 2023 event will use the improved Marathon course, to complement the ever popular 10k and half marathon races.
All race distances follow a similar type of terrain. Undulating downland is the key feature, following ancient tracks, or droves as they are known due to their historic role as routes to market for cattle and sheep. Routes use grassy field margins, shady woodland paths and the ancient turf of Martin Down nature reserve. Vertical climb for each course is M 625m, HM 329m and 10k 133m.
