July The Turd 2026

July The Turd begins and ends at The Unicorn Inn in Little Dawley, Shropshire, with runners starting at 9:00 am. This low-key trail event from How Hard Can It Be Events offers three distances on the same course: 8 miles, 16 miles, or a marathon. The format is lap-based; the 16-mile race consists of two laps, and the marathon is three. The event embraces its humorous name, including a poo medal, indicating its tone: a playful club challenge rather than a formal city road race. Results are available for recent editions, showing it is more than a one-time novelty run.
