Bluebell Bash

The Bluebell Bash

The Bluebell Bash is a trail running event held in the scenic bluebell forests of Manswood, Wimborne. The course takes participants through a landscape featuring seasonal flowers and varied views. The routes include some rolling terrain with several hills throughout the distance.

Participants can choose from three distinct distances, all of which are open to canicross runners:

• Half Marathon (13.1 miles)
• 10K
• 5K

The event features way-marked routes and includes a medic team and an event photographer. There are fully-stocked aid stations along the course and refreshments available after the finish. Age restrictions apply for each distance: the Half Marathon is for those aged 17 and over, the 10K for ages 15 and over, and the 5K for ages 11 and over.

The start location is situated in a remote area in the hamlet of Manswood Bottom. Facilities at the site include toilets and a car park. There is no secure bag drop available, so it is advised to keep belongings in a vehicle. All participants must collect their race numbers on the morning of the event, as no materials are sent by post. Finishers receive a medal, and trophies are awarded to the top male and female finishers in the races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
