DIRECTIONS
The venue is a grass area down a short distance of hard farm trackway in the hamlet of Manswood Bottom, near Witchampton.
The best route to the start point is from the A354 Salisbury to Blandford Road. Between Tarrant Hinton and Cashmoor, take the minor road signposted to Long Crichel and continue through this village 2 miles after the turn off the A354 bear right up a hill signposted to Witchampton. The race venue is located 1 mile after the junction at the bottom of the hill, on your right.
Runners coming from the east should use the B3078 and take the turning to Witchampton and then follow the signs to Manswood from the village centre. The venue will be highlighted using our own signs.
Please drive with consideration for other road users and for the villagers – the roads leading to the race are narrow.
