MOUNTAINEERING & WALKING
Well done to all who took place in the recent
Salisbury 54321 Trail Marathon in Wessex which
saw over 1,115 finishers over the combined main
Marathon and other supporting events.
The Salisbury 54321 Trail, was organised (in its 20th
year) by a Fire Sport UK events team (of serving
and retired firefighters) based in Wiltshire. Hosted at
Salisbury Fire Station, with a Check Point at Wilton
Fire Station, by Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service
*(soon to be the home of the joint HQ of the new
combined Dorset
& Wiltshire Fire &
Rescue Service
(April 2016)) and
in aid of the Fire
Fighters Charity.
The Salisbury 5-4-3-2-1 walk, or trail run is an event suited to all
the family, with a choice of distances from 5km to the more
demanding 42k/Marathon, or even a 50k Ultra Marathon. The
routes are over footpaths, bridleways and quiet country roads
in the Salisbury Wessex area. The walk/trail runs, takes you past
a variety of sites of historical and scientific interest and through
country estates not usually open to the general public. This
has been made possible by the kind permission of several
landowners along the route and including English Heritage.
