Organiser's description

A scenic summer run starting near the Reigate Hill Car Park in a small field adjacent to the North Downs Way. The course will follow the North Downs Way trail on an out / back route towards Boxhill. This trail race is undulating and varied throughout with some spectacular scenery along the way too. Course conditions and the weather at this time of the year can be warm so this will be a challenging trail but very scenic trail run.
