Our Dorset Original event is the Home of Maverick Race and for 2019 we are back with a brand new venue and three brand new routes. We are so proud to call this beautiful part of the UK our home and urge beginner, to experienced trail runners alike to join us on the trails for this event.

With three new routes to choose from there is a suitable challenge for everyone to come and see what we at Maverick race are all about. We can promise that each route will take in some of the best scenery and coastlines that the UK has to offer and will get you hooked on Trail running.

In 2019 we head towards the rugged Jurassic coastline, where seabirds soar, and ancient caves litter the coastline. Steeped in Heritage, with more elevation than previous seasons Dorset will not disappoint.

The 3 routes are designed to challenge you, but also leave you with some epic memories and a sense of achievement. #theoutdoorsawaits
