THE National Trust’s annual 10k run event will be back at Studland Bay next week.

The 10k is free to take part and takes place on the fourth Sunday of the month from September to June - the date in December may vary.

The course starts at Knoll Beach heading uphill to Ballard Down, past Old Harry Rocks and back down to finish at Knoll Beach. The route will be signposted and marshalled by the Trust’s volunteer team.

Runners should arrive from 8.30am onwards to register for the pre-run briefing at 8.50am before the start at 9am.

Children aged 14-years and older can take part - parents and guardians should accompany and remain responsible for children taking part at all times throughout the event and use their own discretion as to whether a child is suitable to take part in the Trust10 recreational run.

Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome to join the Trust10 though there may be livestock along the route.

The Knoll Beach Cafe will be open from 9.30am so you can stop by after the 10km run to reward yourself with a hard earned treat.

The nearest car park is Knoll Beach pay and display car park which is free for National Trust members.
