Forde Abbey 10km Run
Event Details
Forde Abbey 10km Cross Country 2010.
01 July 2010
The Forde Abbey 10km Cross Country Run is a local fundraiser sponsored by Across the Divide. Now in its seventh year the 10km of tough, undulating, muddy countryside takes in some of the most rural, wild and scenic parts of West Dorset.
The race is for anyone who is inspired by the combination of stunning scenic beauty with lung busting pleasure. Come and join over 200 runners, along with Across the Divide team for a great summer's evening in the grounds of the beautiful Forde Abbey.
Online registration is now closed. If you still wish to enter you can do so on the evening, the cost is £10.00.
More Information
All proceeds from this Across the Divide sponsored race go to local village based causes in Thorncombe; home to Across the Divide.
Taking in woodlands, rivers (twice crossing the River Axe!!), meadows and the gardens of the Abbey itself, this is now one of the most renowned cross country runs in the West Country.
The race is kindly supported by Forde Abbey, so huge thanks to the Kennard family for their continued and kind support.
"The best way to spend a summer's evening, just as nature intended"

Testimonials
"This is the hardest most gruelling race I have done. It was also the most inspiring, scenic and fullfing I have ever experienced. I will be back again next year and if my body allows, every year"
Gyles
"Thanks you for organising the lovely race. I have taken part on many such runs, but never one so simplistically tough. The river crossing at the end was the best moment, haven't laughed and cried simultaniously before!"
