Space Oddity : Hurn Forest, Dorset
Space Oddity is a trail running event on 26 March 2027 at Hurn Forest, Hospital Services Cricket Club, Ringwood BH24 2FB. The course is an out and back main forest track with laps measured at 5.3 km (3.28 miles). Participants may elect their distance on the day, with options ranging from a single lap to ultra marathon distances.
- One lap equals 5.3 km on a hardstanding, well maintained track.
- Choose a race distance on the day from 5K to ultra marathon.
Bag drop and facilities are available at the cricket club clubhouse adjacent to the start and finish. An aid station called RunDMC will provide space themed and usual savoury and sweet refreshments at the start/finish of each lap. Toilets are at the cricket club. Plastic cups are not provided so participants are asked to bring their own reusable cup.
Trail shoes are recommended but not essential given the firm track surface. Number pick-up takes place on race day at registration before starting. All finishers of one lap or more receive a Bowie inspired medal.
The event is licensed by the TRA and will be run under UKA rules. Distance restrictions apply to participants aged 20 or under. Twenty percent of entry fees will be donated to Forestry England to support forest and trail maintenance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
