Our other Doddler races…

The Dorset Doddlers organise 4 main races throughout the year, and also support other races. These include the Blackmore Vale half Marathon, the Marnhull 12k, and TV10.


The club was originally formed by a small group of runners who had just completed their first London Marathon in 1983 and now has over 150 members.


We also run a Couch to 5K course, so if you are keen to run and need help, come and join us.
