About the Event

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Longleat Estate, the Longleat 10K offers participants an unforgettable running experience. The race begins with a grand start right in front of the opulent Longleat House and proceeds along the estate's private roads, which are entirely free from traffic.
The route features a mix of undulating terrain and rolling hills, providing runners with a challenging yet scenic course. Early on, competitors face their first significant climb shortly after setting off, followed by a stretch that winds through picturesque landscapes unique to this historic property. As the race progresses towards its conclusion, another steep ascent awaits before rewarding runners with an exhilarating final mile downhill along Lodge Drive back toward Longleat House.
The only interruption in the estate's private roads is a brief 400-meter segment on public highways near the Bath Arms Public House, but this quickly gives way to more tranquil stretches. The race concludes with a dramatic finish line set against the backdrop of Longleat’s iconic architecture.
With an entry limit of 1600 runners, early registration is recommended for those seeking to participate in this scenic and challenging event.

About Wiltshire

Learn more about the host city, Wiltshire.

Wiltshire is a large, mostly rural county in the eastern part of the West Country of southern England. Wiltshire features large areas of rolling chalk downland and grazing farmland, including Salisbury Plain, a large expanse of downland of which part is famously used as a training area by the British Army. For the visitor to the area, Wiltshire is probably most significant because it contains several important Neolithic period monuments, including the world famous stone circles at Stonehenge and Avebury, and the former settlement of Old Sarum. The county also offers a selection of fascinating towns and villages, as well as embracing the southern parts of the picturesque Cotswolds region.
