Organiser's Description
The Midsummer Murder trail races return for 2025 - are you up for the challenge?
The event takes place in the truly remarkable Hambleden Valley, with mile after mile of staggering Chilterns' beauty, picture perfect flint stone villages, country pubs and a fair few hills.
Our 10 mile and Half Marathon trail running courses are very challenging, but also achingly pretty. We'll be keeping the courses as per 2023, with the 10 mile event 10.4 miles long & the Half Marathon 14.3 miles in length.
There is a cut off time of 3 hours for each event - if you would normally take more than 2hrs 20 mins for a flat road Half Marathon, we recommend the 10 mile event.

Great event, marshalls were excellent at the start and finish and very supportive on the course. The route is very challenging but outweighed by the absolutely stunning scenery. Thanks to all involved!

Absolutely amazing place, beautiful surroundings. Organiser's ready to help and so encouraging.
Course - it's a hard hilly course, but being with great company and the beautiful scenery you can't help but love every moment. Can't wait till next year.
Many thanks to all the volunteers and organisers
