About the Event

Take on a brilliantly quirky and challenging multi-lap race in the historic Ironbridge Gorge. July the Turd returns on Saturday, 4th July 2026, offering a fun-filled choice of 8-mile, 16-mile, or full marathon distances starting from The Unicorn Inn in Little Dawley. This unique event combines a mix of tracks, paths, and quiet roads on a lapped course through the picturesque Shropshire valley, promising a rewarding day out with a famously "poo" themed finisher's medal. With a friendly, no-fuss atmosphere and on-site parking, it's the perfect summer challenge for runners who don't take themselves too seriously but still love a good distance. Choose your lap, earn your bling, and join the fun.
