The Hurt

Sat 10th October 2026

Logo with the words "the hurt" in bold, distressed black font. The letter "u" contains a silhouette of a running person against a red and orange circular background. A group of runners in colorful athletic gear start a race on a grassy field, with “FITSTUFF” and “RUST” flags visible on the left. Trees and a cloudy sky are in the background. Two runners with race bibs run on a leaf-covered forest trail. The man in front wears a blue shirt and shorts; the person behind has a backpack and black shirt. Trees surround the trail in an autumn setting. Two runners on a forest trail, one man in blue with a hydration pack and race bib, and one woman in pink shorts and tall socks, raising trekking poles and smiling. The path is surrounded by trees and fallen leaves. A runner wearing a green shirt and race bib number 421 holds a black and yellow “the hurt 2023” lanyard. The background is grassy and blurred. A smiling runner wearing sunglasses, a cap, and race bib 303 makes a heart shape with his hands while running on a grassy trail with a blurred green field and trees in the background. Nine jars of jelly are stacked in a pyramid on a table outdoors, with a blue car blurred in the background. The jars have white labels and gold lids. A wooden bench on a dirt path overlooks a scenic valley with green fields, trees, and blue sky. Sunglasses rest on the bench, surrounded by ferns and sunlight filtering through the trees. A silver medal with “the hurt 2025” and a mountain design hangs from a black ribbon against a bright blue sky and green landscape. A dirt path winds through a sunlit forest with tall trees, green grass, and patches of orange foliage under a bright blue sky.

Organiser's Description

After a great return in 2025, The Hurt is back for 2026. Come and join us, the same team who deliver the G3 Series. Take part in the toughest trail run in the South East that you’re likely to complete! Only 40 mins from South West London, running through the high pine forest of the Hurtwood has been likened to running in the foot hills of the Alps. Some have also compared it to fell running, thanks to at least 650m of steep, rocky ascents and descents over 21kms of single track and trails.
