The Stur Half…
The Stur Half, organised by the Dorset Doddlers is a road race and has been running since 1990. The route follows rural roads in and around Sturminster Newton.
The race is sponsored by Honeybuns Bakery and supported by other local businesses, and this year is part of the Dorset Road Race League.
There is also a multi-terrain 5k race, which you can enter on the day, and while you are running we will entertain the children with races on the school field.
Whether you are a returning runner or new to the Stur Half, we look forward to welcoming you on Sunday 4th August 2024.

We enjoy organising the race and welcome all runners, who have always been friendly ‘clients’ in the race. Any funds made in the 2025 race will go towards funding items for the children of the school. Course details, along with entry details are available on this website.
The proceeds from 2013 – 2015 have enabled us to partially refurbish the school library. We have purchased sofas, enhanced the range of non-fiction books on offer and the library has been re-painted to make it a more welcoming area. In 2016 the monies raised for the school went towards rejuvenating the school swimming pool.
The race brings the community of runners to the school, raises money and promotes sport.
The running family is full of some great people and we would like to extend a very warm welcome to as many of you as possible in 2025.
In 1980 three bored sailors stationed at the Royal Naval Air Station came up with the idea of a 10 mile race on Portland, the cost was 40 pence to enter!
Today the race has developed into a testing 10 mile route that will see you run a lap and a half around the top of the island, from one end of the island, Portland Heights Hotel (385 ft), to the other, Portland Bill (30 ft)
The route is undulating, on tarmac roads and pavements and goes through built up areas as well as following long stretches of coastal road.
