The Bath & Bristol Railway Races follow the route of the original train line from Green Park Station in Bath to Bristol Temple Meads and this route is the flattest of all the races in our calendar! The route is 100% tarmac, offering a road race like experience through the green countryside and into the heart of Bristol. The trainline was in use from 1869 - 1971 and between 1979 and 1986, Sustrans converted the railway path into whatwould become the first route on the National Cycle Network. Along the route you will find historic and active nods to the routes heritage. The Half Marathon runs out and back to Bitton Train Station, with 2.5km in each direction running alongside the Avon Valley Railway, an active heritage line that still runs on the original route today. The 25km, Marathon and 50km run alongside the Avon Valley Railway station at Bitton and onwards to Bristol, passing restored signal boxes, picturesque stations at Warmley and Mangotsfield. The 450m long Staple Hill Tunnel is on the route of the 25km, Marathon and 50km race. It is significantly larger than the tunnels at the Two Tunnels and Wye Valley Tunnel Run as the route had two railway lines running through the tunnel. The Staple Hill Tunnel is well lit.

The Maverick Jurassic Coast Trail 2026 SATURDAY 17 OCTOBER 2026 CORFE Set in the home of Maverick Race, we are excited to offer you five trail routes that will take you on an invigorating adventure around the Isle of Purbeck and along part of the 95-mile stretch of the famous Jurassic Coast. Our three routes start just outside the picturesque village of Corfe Castle, where you’ll then run steadily across marshland, gradually making your way towards the coast. The Ultra and Half Marathon routes will pass the epic Old Harry's Rocks and traverse along coastal ridge-lines via the Purbeck Way. Our Ultra route will take you right down to the tip of the Purbecks, past Winspit Quarry, before reaching the notorious steps at St. Aldhelm's Head. You'll cruise along the Hardy Way and catch a glimpse of Corfe Castle as you descend across Knowle Hill. The finish line is nearing, and you can almost hear the sound of the Maverick cowbells ringing you home... We are so excited to welcome you to where Maverick Race started, and the trails that inspired us to get outdoors and start exploring. We can’t wait to share our favourite paths, hills and views with you, knowing you’ll be stunned and challenged in equal measure. Whether you are brand new to trail running or have run many times before, with five distances to choose from, there is something for all levels. Please note that there is no outpost on the Short route. There aren’t views in the UK quite like the Jurassic Coast, and no one does trail running events quite like us, so join us in October. You won’t want to miss out. Why not make a weekend of it and camp at the start/finish location? Check out Burnbake Forest Lodges & camping here; https://www.burnbake.com/

The Maverick Exmoor X-Trail 2027 SATURDAY 1 MAY 2027 | CAFFYNS FARM, LYNTON The Maverick Exmoor returns in 2027 to deliver one of the UK's most spectacular—and demanding—trail running experiences. Set within the wild beauty of Exmoor National Park, this is trail running at its rawest. Towering sea cliffs, relentless climbs, ancient woodland, remote valleys, and sweeping moorland create a route as breathtaking as it is brutal. If you seek comfort, this isn't for you. If you seek adventure, welcome to Exmoor. With five route options from 5km to the 50k Ultra, there is a challenge for every level, but Exmoor earns its reputation. Climb steepness, technical descents, and rugged terrain demand respect from start to finish. Starting at Caffyns Farm near Lynton, the routes quickly join the legendary South West Coast Path. Dramatic cliffs open to vast views across the Bristol Channel toward South Wales. The coastline feels untamed—rugged, exposed, and beautiful—with seabirds overhead and Atlantic winds nearby. A highlight is the Valley of Rocks, famous for towering formations and wild feral goats, a place unlike anywhere else in the UK. But the coast is only part of the story. The routes then sweep inland through some of the National Park’s most magical hidden corners - following fast-flowing rivers, weaving through ancient woodland, and passing waterfalls tucked deep within the valleys. The constantly changing terrain keeps you fully engaged, with every turn revealing another unforgettable view or another savage climb waiting ahead. This is not a race you simply “tick off.” It’s one you experience. Whether you take on the Short route, tackle the Marathon, or commit fully to the Ultra, Exmoor promises big elevation, huge scenery, and the kind of challenge that stays with you long after the finish line. And when the running is done, there’s no need to rush away. Make a full weekend of it by camping onsite at Caffyns Farm and soaking up the atmosphere with fellow runners in one of the most unique event locations on the Maverick calendar. We’re proud to work alongside the Exmoor National Park team, with a portion of every entry fee donated to CareMoor, supporting the ongoing protection and maintenance of this incredible landscape for future generations. This is Exmoor the Maverick way—wild, relentless, unforgettable. The Maverick Exmoor X-Trail is to be licensed by the Trail Running Association and will be held under UK Athletics rules
