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.

Half & Marathon Course Descriptions

This event series is the most challenging of all my trail races and takes place annually in summer. These challenging half and marathon routes will start in a small field adjacent to the North Downs Way trail near the Reigate Hill Car Park in Surrey. Both courses entail running on lovely forested undulating trails all along the North Downs Way out towards the Betchworth Lime Quarry then on towards the Boxhill lookout where the half marathon and marathon turnaround points will be. The half marathon is one out and back lap and the marathon will comprise of two laps of this course.The terrain is comprised of a mixture of challenging uphill assents or descents on these sandy and rutted trails with spectacular views throughout.
