The ultra marathon, marathon, half and 10km for this race series are held in bi-annually and take place at the Bewl reservoir which is located at Lamberhurst, Kent in the heart of the Kent / Sussex countryside.The location for this series is set within 1000 acres of the picturesque Kent and Sussex countryside and these trail races follow the clockwise round the reservoir route at Bewl Water Country Park which is the largest lake in South East England.The routes are mainly off road and there are lovely views all around Bewl Water as you run through the forested areas and open countryside surrounding the lake.It is a three lap course for the ultra marathon, two laps for the marathon a one lap for the half and out / back run-route for the 10km. All routes are only undulating on certain sections with the majority being run on flat rural trails and quiet scenic country roads on the around the reservoir route.

Registration will take place on the day and your chip timing RFID electronic timing device is embedded at the back of your race bib and will be handed out to you on race day by our registration team. The RFID timing tag needs to be pinned to the front of your race singlet or your t-shirt. You are also encouraged to keep any baggage stored in your car, the carpark is situated very close to the Bewl Water Visitor Centre too so we will have limited storage facilities near the race start / finish on the day, these will be mainly for runners that will be coming to Bewl Water by public transport.

There will also be allowances for switching race distances on the day. Entries on race day will also be accepted.

The ultra marathon start time will be at 8.30am, the marathon start time will be at 9.00am, the half marathon will start at 10.00am and the 10km will start at 10.15am.

We will also have 5min health & safety race briefings that will commence before each race distance is set off, it’s a 5 min (0.5 mile) walk to the start from the Bewl Water Visitor Centre so please ensure you allow yourself enough time to get to the start, this will be clearly signposted.

The Bewl Water routes for all four course distances vary, these run-routes all start and finish on the lower dam wall of the Bewl reservoir.

The distances have been measured using Sunnto Ambit 3 GPS watches and are as accurate as trail races can possibly be, the marathon as you will note is slightly longer, the trails dependant on the line you run will always vary slightly so please be aware that this is as accurate as possible.
