Bewl Water Autumn

Bewl Water Autumn is a biannual race series that starts near the Bewl Water Visitor Centre in Lamberhurst, Kent and follows routes around the reservoir. The courses run on a mix of undulating rural wooded trail and some quiet country lanes, with lake views visible for much of the route.

Distances offered include:

  • 10 km: out-and-back 3.1 mile route with a well-marshalled turnaround.
  • Half marathon (13.1 miles): one 12.5 mile loop plus a short initial loop.
  • Marathon (26.5 miles): an initial loop then two 12.5 mile loops.
  • Ultra 50 km (31.25 miles): two 12.5 mile loops followed by a 6.25 mile loop.

The organiser states the distances were measured with a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro-Solar watch and notes the marathon is slightly longer than nominal; trail line choice may cause small distance variation. Each race has a published time limit.

Event materials include course maps, GPX routes, a route video, entrant information and event medals. Photography from past events is available and past entrants have shared brief reviews. Runners World has rated this event as one of the top 10 races in the U.K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
