This was my fourth time running the Longleat 10K which has become an early season test of my winter triathlon training. It's a challenging but fun course with great organisation, plenty of spectators and no traffic! My best performance in the race yet with a time quicker than expected and managing to win the M50 category too. I'll definitely be back.… read more

The route is undulating to hilly, with a significant climb tackled twice, once soon after the start and the second towards the end. The climb though is rewarded with a long downhill along Lodge Drive towards Longleat House for the finish.
For children and family and friends we welcome you to enter the Longleat 2 Mile Fun run. This popular support event covers the first lap of the 10km, up the hill through to the Bath Arms then the magnificent run down Lodge Drive to the finish line.

Love the event & looking forward to next years. Thanks for making it such a great day.
Didnt realise how Hilly the course was, seriously caught me out... thought I would start the year and first race of the year with a nice steady undulating course !! Would definitely do it again.....
Starting off from the magnificent back drop of Longleat house you move off into the estate grounds for a flat start to get your pace on for a mile or so to a steady climb, a push up to the top of the hill , in two parts with s the satisfaction that what goes up ,must come down!though horninsham village which is part is the greater Longleat Estate, back into the grounds with a long straight back to the house , the crowds giving encouragement to everyone on the run ! This is where the 2k finishes and the 10k runners split of to the second loop, leaving the grounds to the back of the house through parts of the forest along peaceful lanes back into the estate grounds, and to compete the 3rd loop following the route of the first, knowing you have the hills to come ! Great run for beginners to push themselves, and for experienced runners ?, well sorts out the wheat from the chaff!!
if You like hills then youll love Longleat 10k. Competitors start and finish on the main drive facing The Beautiful Longleat House . This is a great event for spectators and there is a 2k run for The Little ONEs.Finishers receive a medal and a well stocked good bag.. One of my favourite races that I use in my Winter training.
The course was really tough but in a good way! It was well organised and ran smoothly. Loved the medal!
First time at this event, and I have to say it was great. My Daughter ran the 2 mile and I ran the 10k. We ran together for the first lap which was great, I left her at the finish and went on to complete the 10k. Meet up at the finish collected our medal, bags. And went of home. No problem at all. Looking forward to this event again next year.
Living in west wales.. I thought nothing of the fact it was hill!!! But my... it was extremely!! Best finishers bag ever too
I really enjoyed the event. Repeating the hill at the end again was hard work and would be good if the route could be amended to only include this hill once. Even if another hill was sought. The goody bag was fabulous too and had a really good mixture of products. The electrolyte tablets were particularly good and I added mine to my small bottle of water straight away.
My 1st event and i really enjoyed it, well organised, everyone was friendly and helpful. Hope to race this again next year.
This is a fairly challenging 10k with a number of hills totalling around 600ft of elevation. The moment you finish a hill there is an immediate downhill to help you recuperate which is satisfying. It's very a very well organised event with sections of the start line designated for runners intending to finish at certain time intervals. The coolness of the time of year really helps as well. So in summary it's a great course, on tarmac, and you have to like a bit of hill climbing.
Really enjoyed it! Longleat is one of my favourite places (we even named our wedding tables after areas in the safari park) so to be able to run on the estate was fantastic. My friend particularly wanted to run it in under an hour so i tried my best to pace her round but it was fairly hilly so didn't quite make it. Liked the t-shirt, goody bag excellent and nice bottle of milkshake at the end. And so many comments on the medal! Will be back again and again even though I live in Edinburgh! Thank you
Been doing this course for four years now. I enjoy the challenge of nearly 700ft of hills. Challenging cours with no traffic, not one for a PB, but, great to push yourself.
Tough but enjoyable 10k, very supportive crowd of runners and cool medal
Good, varied course. Some proper climbs, with some fast descents. Good crowd support too
Great early season 10k event on a hilly course in beautiful surroundings. Would definitely do again.
A great run around the Longleat estate as a back drop. Marshalls were supportive especially up the hills! Great atmosphere and goodie bag at the end. Well done to the organisers!
Very hilly, hard course for my first ever race but it was amazing to run! Will definitely enter next year
This was the first time that I ran the Longleat 10K - and almost 4 years since I last ran a 10K! It was an ideal benchmark race as I am presently training for my first half-marathon taking place in March Id read previous reviews and saw that other runners had advised arriving early as it took a long time to get in. I arrived at 8:45am without any issues (the only hold up was that a huge flock of sheep had decided that they were going to cross the road on the approach to the house - single file I must add! - so that held a few of us up for several minutes).The event was well organised - I gave 4/5, which is perhaps a little harsh as my main gripe is that the voluntary seeding zones were not very well marked out. Whether it was due to wind blowing away signs or markers, Im not sure, but nevertheless, it wasnt clear. The route is fantastic and probably slightly more challenging due to the number of ascents and descents - not many actual flat parts to the course. My target was to finish in under 1 hour, which is did at 56:56 so I was very happy with that!The weather wasnt great but it didnt dampen spirits, if anything it was probably almost at the ideal temperature - not to warm nor was it too cold. Longleat is a fantastic location for a run, it was a shame that nothing else was open (aside from a kiosk serving refreshments) which allowed for making more of a day out of it and keeping little ones entertained. There was a queue to exit the car park afterwards, however I waited it out for 10-15mins and by that time it had cleared up, great traffic management from the stewards.
It was a challenging course, not many people that I spoke to could make it up all those hills without a walk break! Not one for a pb... However, I really enjoyed the course and felt epic when I'd finished it!
Good event and well organised. Really liked the course which was challenging but good sense of achievement to finish. A great event to start the year
I love this race, the route is amazing, the hills are nothing compared to the finish that never gets any closer no matter how fast you run. This course is definitelya pb course if you were so inclined. The medal is great and it was the best goodie bag I have had for a long time. The results are very detailed too. I will definitely be back and its a great start to the New Year race calendar.
Raced for the first time in 2017, came back for a 2nd year in 2018. This year was well organised and ran like clockwork. It is a tough course , hard to find the right pace due to the hills and long downhills. But it is one of my favourite races of the year, great location, challenging and a great atmosphere. WIll certainly be back for more in 2019 ( just a shame its only once a year ).
This was my 5th race to date and my second 10K race, I enjoyed the atmosphere and the huge straight down to the house makes for a wonderful start and finish, the course had some tough hills with nice downs.
A challenging course in beautiful surroundings. Very friendly and well organised. Nice medal and goody bag, a great event all around!
This is my first Longleat 10kand my first 2:09 event. It wont be my last of either, as the event was so well organised. It embraced the whole family and the atmosphere was brilliant.
Amazing setting. Very challenging course with two steep climbs and another which was more drawn out. I have been running this race for years and I always feel Ive earned so much reward. Ive even started longer hikes around this part of Wiltshire with Horningsham as base. Get your hill training going and give it the beans on the fast downhill parts, especially the last K. The ground is all just basic service roads with a few metal grates to go over. Its held the time of year when its quite cold when you start but after the first climb 2k in, you will have warmed up again and at a more steady rate.The numbers seemed slightly down this year which is a shame.The medal is iconic in its simplicity and the goody bag is always great.The Longleat house is quite the feature as well as all the animal statues that are placed around the grounds, some more hidden than others.I wore normal road running shoes with some silicon heel pads and that really helped on the steeper downhill parts.No issue with GPS signal for my sports watch.
Great event. Well organised. Really good atmospher and weirdly I didn't hate the hills.Big thumbs up and would recommend to others.Only a tiny tiny tiny downside, no hot food available to purchase and I'd of loved a bacon roll. However that wouldn't stop me doing it again.
Hard and tough course but great marshalling and fantastic goody bag. Very good event. Maybe a course map with gradient profile as it was a little unexpected having never done it before....
Tough run for me on day 29 of running streak but really enjoyed it. Hilly course which I intend to be better at next year!!
A really good race, quite challenging with some steep hills along the course, which is made up by some down hill sections.
Second time Ive run this race having done it last year - it was good enough then to have me coming back for more and it didnt disappoint! Very well organised and marshalled, and a fantastic goodie bag. Running the Horningsham hill twice is a pain/bonus depending on how you look at it!
In a nutshell - Longleat 10k - more than slightly undulating .... a tale of two hills! The most challenging 10k you'll run - be prepared for almost a mile incline (twice), but then a real steep downhill sweep straight after, that you can well and truly get your speed up. It's fair to say, if you've practiced some hill running - you can still get your PB here!! Well organised event. No queues at registration, despite 1200+ people descending on Longleat for the 10am start. Great venue too - will definitely be back for a 3rd year in 2019!
Great, this is my 3rd Longleat 10k and it's an excellent warm up event for the bath half, see you next year
Two things for me that let the event down.1. Lack of atmosphere once out on route not even any encouragement from Marshals as you ran by.2. Not enough Marshals out on route especially at points such as cattle grids etc, my HS mode took over and was thinking what if something serious injury happened who do you get in contact with as many parts of the route wasnt covered either by marshal or spectators.All in all this was my 3rd 10k and Ill be back for a 4th.
Really challenging course in beautiful scenery. Well organised and a diverse crowd of runners. Will be doing it again next year, aware of the hills so I will be more prepared. Very good day.
Really friendly atmosphere, well organised with great bling and a fab goody bag! Also, nice descent to the finish after that hill!. All the events people we spoke to were brilliant. Thanks for organising!
First race of the year and no one mentioned the hills...... hills I said I meant the mountains my poor legs still hurt 2 days later. But I have to admit apart from London marathon this has been the funniest race I have done. The atmosphere was amazing the wether was great with rain when needed. I love longleat anyway it brings me great memories so to run there was amazing with great people. The finish line........ it is further away than you think when you get to the arch do NOT sprint as you may actually die amazing race still buzzing now.
This was a very nice event; friendly, well-organised. I showed up on the day with my sister, who had entered, and it was no problem to get a late race entry. I loved the course, quite challenging due to its hilliness, but very well suited for this run and for the number of people. The water stop was at the right point (for me at least) and the lion medal a nice gift at the finish line. Full marks to the organisers.
Great run to do really challenging with the hills and having to do two loops of the course well organised and all went smoothly on the day. Was great to get free photos of the event, usually race photos end up costing you a lot of money if you want them so to get them free was great
My first 10k run, more hills than I was expecting but proved to myself I could do it. Very proud of myself
My first 10k race , hills were a killer but atmosphere was great and cannot wait for my next t 10k .
The 5th time of racing here and it doesnt get easier. Its a great benchmarking opportunity for the year. Thanks
A really well organised event in the lovely setting around the grounds of Longleat. Its a challenging course and being early in the year to get you ready for the year to come.
It was my first 10k so the hills were a killer but I would do it again for sure! Organisation was FAB
I really enjoyed the course especially as I dont do hills, the other runners made the course enjoyable and the hills provided some entertainment between some of us runners! The only thing I will say though is some of the marshalls werent very encouraging, a lot of runners were thanking them as they ran past but not much back from them but other Marshalls where amazing and provided a lot of encouragement on the course which is a massive boost when your not only tackling a tough course but you dont have many supporters dotted around to cheer you on. Saying that I would do this again, want to see if I can beat those hills rather then them beating me
Lovely looking scenery, well organised and good atmosphere despite the rain. Christ it was hard. Never seen half as many walking on a 10k as I did here, people ahead of me were and I finished in 51. The hills are just incredible. If its your type of thing great but too tough for me.
Brilliant atmosphere. Excellent finishers goody bag. Gorgeous medal. Well worth the entry price.
5th time running this event and this year 209 appear to have sorted some of the niggles which delayed the start times in previous years. This time everything went as planned, well marshalled parking, easy collection of numbers and the race started on time. The announcer did a good job of getting the runners ready and kept the atmosphere going with lots of encouragement for runners as they started the second lap. Usual goody bag stuff and a nice bespoke lion medal. The course is tough with 3 proper hills but the downhill finish in front the Longleat house makes it worthwhile - Id say most runners will clock about 5% slower than on a flat 10k so not a PB course. Only thing stopping this race getting 5 stars was the traffic leaving which took a long time as we were sent out the back way by the marshals which isnt really suitable for lots of traffic.
Really well organised but super hilly! Not a pb 10k but a good challenge
This is my favourite 10km. It has couple of hills (wouldn't want it too easy ;), great surroundings, the finish line with an amazing sprint finish towards the house. The goody bag was fantastic, great medal, great support. Free photos all for 20 bargain. (goody bag alone must be heart a tenner) see you next year.
Well organised, great atmosphere, some tough hills but a great challenge!
My 1st official 10k... was brilliant ran with family who had baby n buggy n friends .Hilly , but stunning , great marshals, well organised . C u next year for sure !
Good route, both flat and hilly. Absolute chuffed to bits with the goodie bag. Ill be booking again for next year!
Beware of the hill :) this was a great race, lovely scenery. Very hilly, but what goes up must come down so lots of downhill too. I was very slow but enjoyed it. Not your usual flat road race so to do for some variety. Loved the medal too!
1st time at this event. Brilliant event well organised and great route. Will be back next year. Oh and really good goody bags.
A challenging 10k route. Well organised, well informed event. A great medal and goody bag. One I would go back to!
A good and fun run, well organised and great atmosphere despite the dreary weather. Hope to be back next year!

Saying that I would do this again, want to see if I can beat those hills rather then them beating me
Lovely looking scenery, well organised and good atmosphere despite the rain. Christ it was hard. Never seen half as many walking on a 10k as I did here, people ahead of me were and I finished in 51. The hills are just incredible. If its your type of thing great but too tough for me.
Brilliant atmosphere. Excellent finishers goody bag. Gorgeous medal. Well worth the entry price.
5th time running this event and this year 209 appear to have sorted some of the niggles which delayed the start times in previous years. This time everything went as planned, well marshalled parking, easy collection of numbers and the race started on time. The announcer did a good job of getting the runners ready and kept the atmosphere going with lots of encouragement for runners as they started the second lap. Usual goody bag stuff and a nice bespoke lion medal. The course is tough with 3 proper hills but the downhill finish in front the Longleat house makes it worthwhile - Id say most runners will clock about 5% slower than on a flat 10k so not a PB course. Only thing stopping this race getting 5 stars was the traffic leaving which took a long time as we were sent out the back way by the marshals which isnt really suitable for lots of traffic.
Really well organised but super hilly! Not a pb 10k but a good challenge
This is my favourite 10km. It has couple of hills (wouldn't want it too easy ;), great surroundings, the finish line with an amazing sprint finish towards the house. The goody bag was fantastic, great medal, great support. Free photos all for 20 bargain. (goody bag alone must be heart a tenner) see you next year.
Well organised, great atmosphere, some tough hills but a great challenge!

Good route, both flat and hilly. Absolute chuffed to bits with the goodie bag. Ill be booking again for next year!
Beware of the hill :) this was a great race, lovely scenery. Very hilly, but what goes up must come down so lots of downhill too. I was very slow but enjoyed it. Not your usual flat road race so to do for some variety. Loved the medal too!
1st time at this event. Brilliant event well organised and great route. Will be back next year. Oh and really good goody bags.
A challenging 10k route. Well organised, well informed event. A great medal and goody bag. One I would go back to!
A good and fun run, well organised and great atmosphere despite the dreary weather. Hope to be back next year!
