Space Oddity - A David Bowie Themed Trail Run
Join us for 'Space Oddity', a unique trail running event set in the beautiful Hurn Forest, Dorset. This David Bowie-themed run offers a flexible blast-off between 8-9:30 am with a 7-hour cut-off, ensuring your mission is complete by 3 pm at the latest.
Participants can choose their distance on the day, from a 5K lap to ultra-marathon distances, all on a 5.3km out-and-back course. Trail shoes are recommended but not essential as the track is hardstanding and well-maintained.
Facilities and Aid Station
Bag drop and facilities are available at the Hospital Services Cricket Club clubhouse, adjacent to the start/finish. The 'RunDMC' aid station will offer space-themed snacks and refreshments, alongside the usual spread. Please bring your own cup as plastic cups are not provided.
Finisher Medal and Series Information
All finishers of one lap or more will receive a Bowie-inspired medal. This event is part of 'The Imperial March' series, which includes Space Oddity and Intergalactic. Signing up for both days offers a £10 discount.
Charitable Contribution
20% of entry costs will be donated to Forestry England to support the maintenance of forests and trails.
