Dixons Carphone Race to the Stones routes
WEEKENDER ROUTE:
The ultimate weekend exploring the Ridgeway with a relaxing and rejuvenating halfway basecamp to enjoy with your friends.
Route: Lewknor to Avebury
Distance: 100km
Elevation: 3,704ft
Recognised as the oldest path in Britain, the route takes you on a journey along the iconic Ridgeway. Stopping overnight at the half way point, you can rest up and get ready to head back out on to the trails the following day.
Stretching back through the generations for 5,000 years, this route is bursting with history at every twist and turn. From Bronze Age Hill Forts to Roman river crossings, you are invited to walk through the ages along this Stones Trail.
NON-STOP ROUTE:
Route: Lewknor to Avebury
Distance: 100km
Elevation: 3,704ft
Setting off from Lewknor in Oxfordshire, you will venture into the North Wessex Downs wandering through golden corn, vast fields and stunning countryside as far as the eye can see.
From the Uffington White Horse to Liddington Castle, your journey promises to be rich in both history and breathtaking scenery. Trekking through the day and night, it is a true test of endurance to see if you can triumph the trails and finish smiling at the iconic Avebury Stone Circle.
DAY 1 ROUTE:
Route: Lewknor to Basecamp
Distance: 50km
Elevation: 1,973ft
Heading off on this incredible journey from the start line at Lewknor with thousands of other trekkers, you will immediately feel right at home on the trails.
Wandering through the woodland before coming down into the renowned ‘field of dreams’, the only thing that can beat this moment is when you cross the finish line! With the route ending at the fantastic basecamp, there will be food, bars and a chilled atmosphere awaiting your arrival.
DAY 2 ROUTE:
Route: Basecamp to Avebury
Distance: 50km
Elevation: 1,731ft
Heading off from the basecamp early Sunday morning, you will be following in the steps of Vikings, Romans and Kings. With the prehistoric Uffington White Horse hill figure and the Liddington Castle fort, your journey will be rich with history.
Ending at the iconic Avebury Stone circle, it is the perfect finishing site for this incredible challenge. Basking in the awe of the largest stone circle in Europe, there is no greater place to stop and reflect on all you have accomplished.

Dixons Carphone Race to the Stones reviews (114)
Did the Weekender in 2019
Absolutely superb event. Brilliantly organised, copious amounts of food at all stops and at a base camp. Superb medical support and great atmosphere. Maybe recommend for people who have completed more than a 10k, but can't recommend highly enough.L
Lizzie BDid the Weekender in 2016
Well organised, volunteers were amazing and there was a good food supply. I was one of the last to finish and the team made it still feel like I had wonJ
JenDid the Weekender in 2018
Loved it! Done this race twice, I did it the first time back in 2014, for charity, and decided to do it again 4 years later! Loved it, I’ve completed all of the trail series, the tower the king and the stones, the stones was my favourite though due to it being flatter even though it’s the longest out of the 3. Can’t fault the organisation, or the team spirit or the helpfulness of the team running it - they all want you to finish! The achievement at the end across the finish line will stay with me forever!Did the Weekender in 2019
Done a few of your events and they are so good. Other runners/walkers and staff are all so friendly. Great event. Booked for next year already.

Did this last year, enjoyed it so much thought I'd do it again! Enjoyment is mostly down to Thresholds amazing organisation and their great team every step of the way, leaving you to just get on with it.M
MelanieDid the Weekender in 2019
Very well organised event, would have been good to have more medics at basecamp, had to queue for 40 mins, but other than that, fabulously organised!S
Stacey BDid the 100K Non-Stop in 2019
Great feed stations, could of done with more medics on bikes to reach those not capable of reaching a checkpoint.W
Wendy SDid the Weekender in 2019
