About the event

What in the blue blazes is this about then? That is a really good question, really well put, and we are glad that you asked. Read on and you will find out the answer to that very same question here.........


Just For Sh*t & Giggles is a "X" shaped route located entirely within the North Wessex Down AONB.

The route itself begins below the Alton Priors White Horse and will take you around the Vale of Pewsey, through the Pewsey Downs National Nature Reserve, up to the Avebury Stone Circle, and on to the Marlborough Downs........it really is all a bit pretty!!

​So how does a "X" shape route work is another question we hear from you now.......keep reading cos we are just full of answers for you..........

​At the heart of the "X", at the Pewsey Downs car park, SN8 4JX, will be Race HQ. The route comprises of 4 out and back Legs from Race HQ. The Legs will be run in an anti clockwise order.. You have the option to sign up to run 2 Legs, 3 Legs, or all 4 Legs.

Leg 1.

7.35 miles each way = 14.71 miles Leg total. 1155 ft elevation.

Leg 2.

9.18 miles each way = 18.36 miles Leg total and 33.07 miles combined total. 1538 ft elevation combined total

Leg 3.

9.57 miles each way = 19.14 miles Leg total and 52.24 miles combined total. 2720 ft elevation combined total

Leg 4.

10.27 miles each way = 20.54 miles Leg total and 72.80 miles overall total.

4044 ft elevation combined total

​There will be a fully stocked Aid Station at Race HQ and at the turn round point on each of the Legs. This is a CUPLESS event. You will have to bring your own collapsible cup.......if you don't then you will burn ya little fingers drinking hot drinks........and the flat coke will only make ya hands sticky. Our in house Medical Team will also be located at Race HQ should you need their services. The route will be fully marked with tape and signage. We will also have some super Marshals on the course letting you know that you have still got miles to go............ and encouraging you to do them !!

Competitors parking will be available near to Race HQ. Please do not park in the Pewsey Downs Car Park.......we do not have permission to use it, and as it is only a small car park.........we would very quickly fill it up and block it for members of the public.

We will set you off at 0900 hrs (9am) and cut offs for completion will be as follows: 

2 Legs: 9 hrs

3 Legs: 15 hrs

4 Legs: 24 hrs


Canicross entrants will set off 5 mins before non dog assisted runners.

Come and join us for some trail running in a spectacular location, among fellow and new trail running friends...............
