Dorset Invader Frolic – Sherborne
28 August 2025
Are you ready for an action-packed August Bank Holiday weekend with races for all the family? Set on an amazing farm, we return for the Dorset Invader weekend, including Frolic, half-marathon, 10K and Chaos races. With the local pub on board and entertainment for the Sunday night, there's something for everyone! The races all take place on the trails around the village of Longburton.
First up, we have a Frolic race made up of 4.4-mile loops on the Saturday. As usual, you have 12 hours to run as far as you can or want – first half-marathon or marathon maybe? Or go for an ultra? Run as a solo, or create teams of 2, 3 or 4 to take on our fast, flat trail route. FLAT! Yes, FLAT!
What is a Frolic?
Over a 12-hour period, you do as much running as you want. Complete at least one lap to get your medal and goody bag. Frolics are relaxed events with a fun atmosphere. You can run in teams of 4, 3, 2 or go solo. Solo runners can do as many laps as they want. To hit marathon distance, make sure you start at 8am and do four laps. If you're in a team, only one of you runs at a time, then you swap over as and when you feel like it.
After you've entered, if you want to add a member to your team, you can! Simply select the 'Additional Team Member' entry from the list and select your team name from the drop-down in the 'Join Team Name' box to add.
Minimum age requirement for entry is 18 years old. For general race questions, see our FAQs.
There will be hot food and drink vendors ready to serve you pre- and post-race.
Prizes are awarded on the line for the first three male and female runners, with all finishers receiving a medal, muff and some yummy Dorset goodies for completing the event.
Camping can be booked in our exclusive 'athletes' village' here. Alternatively, there is a list of local accommodation here: Accommodation Listings.
