Dirt Half Challenge

About this event

The Dirt Half Challenge brings trail running to the heart of Bedfordshire, where quiet woodland paths and sandy terrain around Leighton Buzzard create a distinctive running experience. Runners can choose between a 13-kilometre route perfect for those stepping up from road running, or the full half marathon distance of 21 kilometres for more seasoned trail enthusiasts. The sandy tracks and forest trails offer a welcome change from pavement pounding, while the relatively gentle terrain makes it an approachable event for building trail confidence. Set in November when autumn colours light up the woods, this local event has carved out a loyal following among runners looking for a proper trail challenge without venturing too far from home.
