A large group of runners with race bibs participate in a race on grass at sunrise, with a grandstand building and a partly cloudy sky in the background. A group of smiling runners, wearing matching yellow and blue athletic shirts, pose together outdoors on a cloudy day. Most are wearing shorts and running shoes, standing on a wet pavement. A hand holds a colorful medal featuring a runner being chased by a large fish in water, with "Epsom Oddballs" at the top and "2000 Perch" on a gold banner at the bottom. A stadium is depicted in the background.

Organiser's Description

Set on the sweeping trails of Epsom Downs Racecourse, the 2000 Perch is a proper multi-terrain 10km with rolling ground, wide-open views and a course that keeps you honest from start to finish. Organised by Epsom Oddballs Running Club, this is a friendly, well-marshalled, chip-timed race that will be full of atmosphere. If you like the trails, a Friday night treat and the buzz of a strong local field, this one's for you.

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+)
