Salisbury Plain Marathon & Half Winter Edition

Sat 7th December 2024

Two runners in winter gear, numbered 3003 and 3004, smile and embrace while jogging on a rural path. They are participating in a trail event, with a line of trees and a cloudy sky in the background.

Two men running on a dirt road during a race, both smiling. One has his arms raised in victory, wearing a blue top and black shorts. They both have race numbers pinned to their clothing. Green foliage lines the path.

A group of runners wearing winter gear jog on a foggy, dirt trail during an overcast day. The visibility is low due to the dense fog, and "Andover Trail Events" is prominently displayed in the bottom right corner.

Two runners cheerfully hold hands as they run outdoors. The man wears a red jacket and navy shorts, and the woman sports a white long-sleeve shirt with text. Both display race numbers, and the path is surrounded by greenery.

A group of people run along a foggy trail during a cold-weather event. The surroundings are misty and dim, with limited visibility. The text "Andover Trail Events" is visible at the bottom right of the image.

Course was pretty easy to follow although lots of bits were frozen including quite deep tank tracks which were hard to navigate. Had to slow down quite a lot here to avoid rolling ankles etc. Some fairly gentle hills, one brief set of steps and a few annoying road crossings. Would've been nice to have mile markers too

What a wonderful route around Salisbury Plain, and beautifully organised. The organisers effortlessly and efficiently sorted out the issue of bibs on the day in spite of the problems caused by the postal strike.

Thoroughly enjoyed the run. Good views, only one impossible climb (which was very short) and a very friendly atmosphere created by organisers and runners. Rolling start was a curious novelty. Will definitely put on calendar next year.

A really well organised event.. I chose to do this event as my 2nd Marathon as it was nice and local to me but also all off road. Knowing there was a hill or 2 thrown in was exciting. The organisers were very welcoming and explained everything so there was no misunderstanding. The rain few days beforehand made for some technical areas but as a trail event you expect these. The aid stations were all well stocked no matter how many people had passed with a great range of food and drink. Being a cupless event meant there was no litter risk which is always a bonus. The marshals and crew were all enthusiastic and kept you going. At the road crossing they were loud to make sure you knew if it was clear and were always safe with no worries of traffic. The medals at the end were not the traditional metal ones but wooden and engraved which makes for a lovely change and really moving with the times! All in all a great event and would highly recommend it, I know I would do it again!
