***********************************
The Avebury8 Nine is a 9-mile-ish trail race which takes place in the Wiltshire countryside, starting and finishing at Avebury.  Race HQ is at the Avebury Sports & Social Club, just beside the stone circle on the Beckhampton Road.  The start is in Bray Street and the race takes runners north to Yatesbury Lane, through Yatesbury, then back to Avebury High Street to finish next to the club house.

If we get "normal" English weather you can expect a liberal supply of mud and puddles on a route that's not too hilly but challenging. Be prepared for a mixture of chalk tracks, some ruts, a couple of short-ish tarmac sections, various footpaths (some quite wet, probably) and a traverse of neolithic Windmill Hill followed by a wonderful downhill run towards the fields leading back to Avebury village.

All finishers get a hand-thrown Avebury8 mug (much sought after!) and there will be refreshments including many cakes.

Looking forward to seeing you in Avebury in November.


The Avebury8 Nine is run under England Athletics rules. Participants must be aged 17 or over on race day.

TRA licence number 6720

We are pleased to confirm that the 2024 race is
Race #4 in the Wiltshire Athletics Off-road Race League.
