Giants Head Marathon Weekend 2026

Giants Head Marathon Weekend 2026 is a multi-race trail weekend organised by BigFeat Events in Sydling St Nicholas, Dorset, taking place across Saturday 20 June and Sunday 21 June 2026. The weekend combines a Marathon and 10K on Saturday with a Half Marathon and the LittleFeet Bell Race on Sunday, plus on-site camping and evening social activities. The event is positioned as a village festival-style weekend with family-friendly features and bespoke race merchandise available to pre-order.

The courses run through the Sydling and Cerne valleys and are described as challenging and hilly, with full course marking, recommended GPX routes and well-stocked aid stations. Finishers receive medals (with a Trees Not Tees tree-planting alternative) and there are on-course photographers, bag drop facilities and food services for participants and spectators. The weekend emphasizes community atmosphere, volunteer support and countryside views alongside practical race services such as packet collection and camping facilities.
