PHOENIX - Denbies Marathon / Half Marathon

Dorking, Surrey

Denbies Wine Estate, London Road, Dorking, RH5 6, United Kingdom

Sat 22nd June 2024 - Sun 23rd June 2024

Starting at 08:00

Organiser's Description

The Denbies Marathon & Half Marathon is back for 2024

Firstly, you get up to 30 hours to finish this event - yep you read that right - from 8.00am on Saturday 22nd June right through to 2.00pm on Sunday 23rd June, so if you fancy having a go at your very first Marathon or Half Marathon then you won't find a longer cut off time anywhere. But the fun doesn't stop there because we're offering completely flexible start times from 8.00am right up until Saturday 23rd, which means that if you start later, say at 11pm, you could try your first evening or even night run. You can also run more than one half marathon or marathon if you like, by simply entering the event more than once and starting when you like within the start window.

The route is a single 1 mile loop (with an extra bit for the 0.1 or 0.2 miles required to run a half marathon or marathon), which we've made as flat as we possibly can, and, depending on what time you choose to start you'll have up to 24 hours to run your marathon or half marathon.

The medal for this event will be a 'pick n mix' meaning we'll have a selection of epic medals for you to choose from.

The event is fully chip timed so you don't need to worry about keeping track of laps - we'll do all of that for you and can tell you exactly how far you've run each time you pass the aid station.

Places will be strictly limited so don't leave it too late to enter.

Off road trail, through the wine estate on a flat 1 mile route. Flat, with slight cambers

Course Details

The overall course is as flat as we could possibly make it. There is one tiny upward slope of around 100m about 1/3 of a mile into the 1 mile lap, but this is very much made up for with a nice sweeping slight downhill for the next 0.3 of a mile. Overall it’s a lovely mile and quite quick.

  • Are spectators welcome?

    Spectators are more than welcome. The Denbies Wine Estate offers a number of restaurants, outdoors coffee shop, gift and wine shop, farm shop and guided wine tours. There is even a hotel on site for those wishing to stay over but please book early as it always sells out.

  • How many laps for my distance?

    Each lap is exactly 1 mile long. So 13 and a tiny out and back for a half marathon, and 26 plus a longer tiny out and back for a marathon.

  • Flexible Start times?

    We offer flexible start times, simply come to the start area ready to run so we can check you in and set you off as soon as you’re ready. Start times are available from 8am on the Saturday through to Sunday morning.

  • Toilets and Facilities?

    There are toilets in the main building, through the main entrance, which will be open for our use from 7.30am. Portaloos will also be available next to the aid station.

  • Can I leave my bag at the aid station?

    There will be no ‘official’ baggage drop or baggage storage at our aid station; however you can leave some bags and supplies towards the bottom / side of the field and if you do pitch a tent then you can leave your belongings there. If you drive to the event you will be able to easily access your car during the event.

  • What is the event cut-off?

    The cut-off time is 2pm on the Sunday by which time you should be finished running.
