The Sodbury Slog is quite simply not for the faint-hearted. Forget roads – they’re for wimps – this is a lung-busting, trainer-ruining, hill-climbing, multi-terrain challenge held over and through some of South Gloucestershire’s most stunning countryside with a sting in the tail.

Following discussions with the Town Council, landowners and local farmers we have made a couple of changes to the route. The Leap of Faith and the return run up the High Street have been removed. Boggy Bottom, The Sheep Dip and The Pig Trough all remain.

The route is around 9.5 miles depending where the cows are on Race Day and is mix of tarmac, grass and muddy tracks. You can guarantee it will be wet, muddy, scenic, and as hard as you want it to be. It really is a race for all abilities and all standards. Just make sure you get out fast, tie your laces tight, and do not swallow the water. It is not all water. Mud is not like the t-shirt, optional. You can order your Sodbury Slog t-shirt here.
