PieAthlon 2026

The PieAthlon is a fun event which combines a 6km trail run with a selection of delicious pies to taste which are available at the 3 pie stations along the route. The PieAthlon is designed to bring together race enthusiasts and pie lovers in a fun and challenging event. Fancy dress is encouraged for this race and there will be a prize for the best fancy dress.

The race starts and finishes at The Dusty Miller Pub in Longwood. The route takes you through a variety of mainly off-road terrains and challenges, including the infamous ‘bog of doom’, giving a full view of the stunning scenery around Longwood and surrounding area along the way.

The PieAthlon has been running for several years, in 2025 the 25th Salendine Nook Scout Group took over running the event in collaboration with The Dusty Miller Pub. The money raised from this event will be reinvested in the event making improvements for future years, as well as being invested back into the Scout Group to help to provide a fun experience for the young people of the area and provide an enjoyable scouting experience for all.
