The North Dorset Village Marathon is organised by Gillingham Trotters and encorporates the Dorset County Championships.
A one lap twisty course that undulates without being too testing. The picturesque route is held on country lanes which pass through the villages of Hinton St Mary, Marnhull, Stalbridge, Stour Row, Margaret Marsh, West Orchad, Farrington, Child Okeford and Hammoon.
