Wonderful event.
Really challenging hills so DO train for those. This race was really well organised, there lovely medals. The organisers were great. One of the more picturesque courses in the area

The event starts & finishes on the Dene in the wonderful Chilterns village of Hambleden.
Due to the narrow country lanes in the area, we advise all participants to approach via the A4155 main Henley on Thames/Marlow road.

Organiser's description
The Midsummer Murder trail races return for 2023 - 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've tweaked the courses slightly from 2022, but all of your favourite features are still there. We take you through the beautiful villages of Turville & Skirmett, past the 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang' windmill and of course start and finish in Hambleden Village itself.
