What - The race leaves Denbies and runs west along the well known North Downs Way National Trail, to the edge of Guildford. This section of the North Downs Way stays up high and runs along the ridgeline of hills that overlook the Surrey Hills and lovely countryside surrounding the villages of Wotton, Gomshall and Shere. Runners pass the famous Newlands Corner and expansive Albury Downs on their way to the beautiful St Marthas Church and onwards to the edge of Guildford, where after our checkpoint the route is retraced back towards Denbies. Near Denbies the route leaves the Noorth Downs Way and heads north through the village of Westhumble and takes in a scenic loop of the Surrey Wildlife Trust Reserve woodland of Norbury Park before returning to Denbies for the finish!

T-shirts… & Trees - We have followed suit with many other events and are offering T shirts as an extra that you can purchase online at time of entry or by editing your entry at a later date. These are a nominal charge of £12. We like participants to have a T shirt to commemorate the event BUT by setting this nominal charge we hope to minimise any wasted T shirts - either by ourselves having too many printed as we do not know the exact numbers until very near the race OR by some participants not actually wanting one in the first place and them not being worn or discarded. We are also now partnered with Trees not tees so you are able to choose to plant a tree instead of OR aswell as the T-shirt! We have more information about this on one of our Environment pages.
Provided - Aid Stations at 8, 13, 18 and 24 miles. Fully signed and supported route.
Event medical cover. Sweeper Runner. Great race route and location! Lovely wooden Medal to all Finishers.
