Organised by Epsom Oddballs Running Club, this is a friendly, well-marshalled, chip-timed race that will be full of atmosphere.

About the event
The Perch was a regular fixture in the Surrey running calendar through the 2000s and is now being brought back by Epsom Oddballs Running Club. The race takes its name from an old English unit of measurement. 2000 perch works out at just over six miles, and the original Perch races were run over that traditional distance. Previous editions have been held on Epsom Downs and in Nonsuch Park. The 2026 race keeps that spirit but moves to a 10km single-lap route across Epsom Downs. It’s undulating but very runnable, with wide views of the beautiful Downs.

What you get:
Full pro chip timing via Sports Systems. Each km will be marked out and marshals will be at all turns on the route
Finishers medal
Dedicated bag drop and portable toilets at race HQ

Prizes
Over £1000 in prize money for category winners
Top 3 male and female finishers and age-group winners (V40, V50, V60+)
