Blandford Forum, United Kingdom • 18 Jul 2026

The Cider Challenge Solo is a 12-hour trail-running event held on a privately owned farm in Dorset (Myncen Farm, Minchington, Blandford Forum, DT11 8DH). Designed for solo runners, with the option to enter as part of a team, participants have 12 hours to run or walk as many laps as they can.

Finishing is based on laps completed—every finisher earns a medal and goodies. Camping is available over the weekend (17–19 July), and places are limited. All abilities welcome. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
