Tolpuddle Half Marathon & 14.7K is organised by Inertia Events and offers two scenic road running routes through the Piddle Valley and surrounding Dorset countryside. Starting and finishing at the Tolpuddle Martyrs Museum, the event takes participants along quiet country lanes around the historic village of Tolpuddle.
The Half Marathon follows a 21.4K loop with approximately 213m of climbing, while the 14.7K offers a shorter course with around 148m of ascent. Both routes feature undulating terrain and picturesque rural scenery, providing an enjoyable challenge for runners of different abilities.
Runners, walkers and Jeffers are welcome, with no formal race cut off. Both routes are marked and supported by marshals, aid stations, first aid and a broom wagon. Finish times are recorded, event photography is included and participants can choose whether to receive a finisher's medal.
