Eightmile Events

We are delighted to announce XMiles as the Title Sponsor for all Eightmile Events.

Your One Stop Nutrition Shop. are your One Stop Nutrition Shop that supports runners with fuelling plans, nutrition calculators and a wide range of products.

With less than a month to go until Beat the Ferry 50km and Studland 25km it’s a great time to dial in your fuelling plan for the event. Visit the Your One Stop Nutrition Shop. website and use their nutrition calculator to plan your race day needs.

ITRA launched Women’s Trail Day to celebrate, support and promote inclusion on women in trail running. Their stats show c.30.5% of runners in their database are women.

I was recently inspired watching the performance of women in a backyard ultra. 2 women made it into the last 3. It reminded me we are often capable of much more than we expect and realise.

Now I’m not saying we should all go out and run a backyard ultra! However it’s reminds me to try and see what it possible. Whether that is lacing up your shoes and going out the door for your first run, entering your first event or taking on a distance that seems a bit scary.

At Eightmile Events we offer a welcoming environment for all runners with generous cut offs and period products available at the start, finish and main aid stations. If you are thinking of signing up to any of our events and have any questions, drop us a message.

Join us this July to run through the beautiful scenery of the Purbecks. Spaces available in both the Studland 25km and Beat the Ferry 50km.
