Course Details
All three distances have to negotiate a steep ascent for the first half mile (roughly 125m of elevation). The 21k and 42k follow the same route for 7.5km then splits. The 10km and 21km are 'out and back'. All three courses will be marked and marshaled at specific crossing point and junctions. The 10km has one drink station, the 21km has three drink stations and the 42km will have 7 drink stations. All three .gpx files can be found on our events page.
the route
This event will be clearly marked and marshalled
The 10k route heads north out of the Shere Recreation Ground (123m ascent) levelling out along Drove Road, through Oaken Grove and joining a trail that leads down to the Sawmill at Honeysuckle Bottom. From there it’s back up a small incline to return back to the start via the same route you came up on.
The 21k follows the same route as the 42k out of Shere until the junction with Park Farm where it turns left to loop back onto the North Downs via Coomb Farm where it eventually picks up the same route you came along onto the north Downs back to Shere and the finish line.
The 42k has varying elevation but with great views over the North Downs and Surrey Hills.
The 42k starts and finishes in the beautiful village of Shere, the route out of the village is a steep one up onto the North Downs Way.
The 42k heads off to Leith Hill Tower via Wotton Hatch and Friday Street with stunning vista along all routes. Leith Hill is the highest point in the South-east of England with views north to London and south to the English Channel. The 42k then follows the Greensand Way taking in other viewpoints including, Holmbury Hill, Pitch Hill, Raynards Hill, St Martha’s Hill and finally Newlands Corner before heading home to Shere.
10k Drink Stations – 1 – Elevation 217m
