Redlands Coppice Trail Dorset
25 September 2022
About the event
Flying Gazelle Running are hosting a first ever event on the glorious Redlands Coppice Trail, Dorset. One trail loop. 6 hours to run it as many times as you can. Run it once, you get a medal. Or run it the most, and get rewarded with podium prizes!
Redlands Coppice is a hidden gem set in the heart of the Dorset countryside in the quaint village of Piddletrenthide. With far reaching views across the undulating hills of West Dorset’s greenery, filled with tunnel forests, hills and descents, and single track paths... it really is a trail runners dream.
We value the runners experience on the day as a whole, rather than just when they are running. That's why we'll create an event village at Redlands Coppice, inviting local small businesses to showcase their luxuries. Think swanky food vendors to replenish those lost carbs, and awakening coffee hubs to restore that buzz. We want to enhance the community spirit and atmosphere on event day, and make it the kind of day you can bring friends and family along with you.
Tickets
- 6 hour loop event
- Enter as a team of 2, 3, or 4. Your individual miles will still count towards your solo score, but you also compete against other teams that have entered by adding up your total laps in your team. If you are entering as a team, please tell us your team name during the checkout details.
The Course
The event is made for every type of runner. Whether you want a 5k or an ultra, this is for you. The course is a 5k trail run around the Redlands Coppice private land. It has some hills with great views. The idea is to run this loop as many times as you can. All you need to do is run this loop once to qualify as a finisher and receive your medal and goody bag. If you want to aim for podium, just see how many loops you can manage in the 6 hours, or how fast you can manage them. The final loop attempt must have started before the 3:30pm deadline.

1 loop = 5k (approx. 250ft elevation per loop)
