About the race
The Doomsday Run takes place at Charborough Estate in Bere Wood, Dorset on 29 November 2026. It is a trail race routed through roughly 600 acres of ancient woodland with dense canopy and sections that feel low in light. Distances available:

A GPX file is issued to participants ahead of the event and chip timing provides live results.
