Our helpers

Our helpers…

The Doddlers are runners who like to run and also enjoy organising races while helping our community…

…but we can only do this with help from so many people, from the race committee, the residents of the villages we run through, course and water station marshals, many of whom are past Doddlers as well as members of the wider local community and local organisations – we really appreciate every one of them. 


If you would like to find out more and help us to continue putting on great races, please get in touch, thank you.





Our race marshals…

are a friendly bunch, but they also have a very important role in trying to keep you safe while you run around the course.


Please note that they will warn traffic, but we have no right of way over cars, tractors etc – so please take care and follow instructions from them.


Unless otherwise directed, run on the LEFT HAND SIDE of all the main roads. 

Our water stations marshals…

They are there to help you refuel while you are running, they also like to have fun and often dress up to add to the atmosphere of the race.

We also appreciate the places where we hold our water stations, people have given us use of their land and their water pipes.

Our sponsors

Our main sponsor is Honeybuns, who have been supporting us since 2006.


We also have support from many other local businesses, including Harts of Stur, EB Marsh & Son, Root & Vine
