The Terminator 2027
Organised by Pewsey Vale Running Club, this event on 28 February 2027 is a multi‑terrain off road race of approximately 12 miles. The route begins gently across fields and then includes several climbs, a late extra challenge and sections with views. The course is reported as 98% off road and is likely to be muddy, so off road shoes are recommended.
The organisers expect entrants to run as much of the route as possible. Runners are asked to aim to complete the course in 3.5 hours or better. There is a midpoint cutoff of 1 hour 45 minutes at 6.75 miles; participants who miss this cutoff will be transported to the finish. Full first aid and medical cover are provided at the start area and on the course.
Practical arrangements include race number collection at Bouverie Hall between the race car parks and the start, a bag drop near the start at the football club, limited changing facilities and no showers, toilets at Bouverie Hall and portaloos at the start and finish, and two cupless water stations so runners should bring their own cups. Cakes, beer and other refreshments will be available at the start and finish.
The race is part of the Wiltshire off road league (race 8 of 26/27), holds ARC permit ARC/27/0091, uses chip timing by DB Max, awards individual male and female prizes, and provides a unique T shirt to all finishers. Entry fees are £26 affiliated and £28 unaffiliated, entries close 24 February 2027, total places are limited to 600, and there is no entry on the day. Dogs are not permitted because of livestock on the course. The event is the club's main charity fundraiser and the club reports having raised and donated over £100,000 to local and national charities.
