Run The Down is a community-focused 10K trail run that blends scenic countryside running with a relaxed festival atmosphere. Hosted at Dummer Down Farm in Hampshire, the event is built around one simple message: run your own race. Whether you’re chasing a personal best, tackling your first trail 10K, or simply looking for a fun morning outdoors, everyone is welcome.
About the Event
The course takes runners across the beautiful trails surrounding Dummer Down Farm, featuring a mixture of grass, gravel paths and farm tracks. It’s a true off-road 10K that offers varied terrain without being overly technical, making it suitable for both experienced trail runners and those new to trail racing.
More than just a race, Run The Down has been designed as a community experience. After crossing the finish line, participants are encouraged to stay and enjoy the event village, complete with a local brewery, food truck, coffee truck and plenty of space to relax with fellow runners.
The event is organised in partnership with the Mental Health Awareness Club (MHAC), with a percentage of every entry donated to Mind, helping to support mental health services across the UK.
