The Maverick Original Dorset 2025

Saturday 14 June 2025 | Wilkswood Farm

The Maverick Original Dorset event is set in the home of Maverick Race. We’re so proud to call this beautiful part of the UK our home and urge you all - beginners, to experienced trail runners alike- to join us in Dorset for this event.

With three routes around our own personal favourite trails there is a suitable challenge for everyone to give trail running a go and see what Maverick race is all about. We promise you all that no matter which route you choose you will be treated to some of the best scenery and coastlines the UK has to offer. Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route.

We head towards the rugged Jurassic coastline, where seabirds soar, and ancient caves litter the coastline. Steeped in Heritage and with more elevation than previous years, there is no possible way that the Maverick Dorset Original event will disappoint.

We look forward to welcoming you to the trails, the home of Maverick race and the start line.

How it Works

As a guide you should always:

• Follow the on course signage

• Listen to on course marshals

• Take care when crossing roads

• Be considerate to others

• Please close all gates, DO NOT litter!


PLASTIC FREE

In our quest to make this season plastic-free, we ask that you run with a reusable cup or bottle. Speed Cups are available to purchase at each event and online.


OUTPOSTS

There will be no outpost on the Short route. There will be 1 outpost on the Middle route, at approximately 10km. There will be 2 outposts on the Long route, at approximately 10km & 21.5km. The outposts are designed to act as a top up for what you are already carrying. There will be a range of sweet & savoury snacks (fruit, cake, crisps) as well as Precision Hydration fuel & electrolyte.

There will not be pre-filled water cups available at the outpost. Please have your re-useable cup or bottle ready when you arrive and make use of our self serve water barrels.

HEADPHONES

We strongly recommend not wearing headphones at this event.

CUT OFFS

Although we do not have strict cut offs as such, we do appreciate if all runners (regardless of distance) are finished by 2pm. This equates to a finish time of 4hrs.

This helps to ease the pressure on our marshals, so that they are not stood outside for long periods of time.

TRANSFERS

If for any reason you wish to transfer out from an event we are happy to do this, but once only. You may transfer to any event listed on our website or even change to a higher value event and pay the difference. We cannot action any transfers or refunds for an event that has sold out.

The last day to transfer out of an event is the Monday before event day (5 days before the event), please email us on [email protected] with the name of the event you would like to move to. We are not able to move you out of an event if you contact us after this day
