White Horse Relay: Relay Race around the 8 visible White Horses in Wiltshire

We are pleased to announce that once again the White Horse Relay is being run in aid of Carer Support Wiltshire.


Now in its third year the White Horse Relay has revealed many new routes not even known to local runners. The idea was to run between the eight White Horses of Wiltshire using the trails shown on the Ordnance Survey maps.

The route is so varied going along tracks, across fields, through woods and some entirely on road, (mainly unmade), with stages varying from just over five miles to ten miles and magnificent views. What would you expect with 8 peaks (the White Horses)!

Each stage will start as a mass start at about the expected time of arrival of the first runner from the previous stage.

The three longest stages are nearly 10 miles, but the shortest is only a fraction over 5 miles - so much choice, each team member can choose a route to give them just what they want and lots of lovely views.

If you are interested in taking part, or entering a team into the relay, please take a look at the website.

They will also be looking for volunteers to help with the event which may appeal to the less keen runners amongst you!
