Chiltern Ridge Half Marathon
The Chiltern Ridge Half Marathon is an off road trail race along The Ridgeway National Trail between Wendover and Princes Risborough in Buckinghamshire. The route follows a stretch between Coombe Hill in Wendover and Whiteleaf Hill, including a loop through Whiteleaf Hill Nature Reserve.
The race distance is 21.1 km with approximately 526 m of climb. The course is undulating with numerous ups and downs and is fully marked with orange arrow markers and ribbons. Marshals assist at road crossings and busier sections. The route may be subject to a minor change to the exact start location because of HS2 works in Wendover.
Registration takes place at the Shoulder of Mutton on Pound Street in Wendover and the finish is at Hampden Meadow, South Street, Wendover. Wendover train station is the recommended parking location and is within a short walk of the event base.
There are two on route aid station visits at Green Hailey (around 8.5 km and 11.5 km) offering water, coke, sports gels and chews, jelly babies and crisps. Portaloo toilets are available at the start and finish and at the checkpoint. The event is licensed by the Trail Running Association and held under UKA rules. Key limits and services include a 350 runner maximum, a four hour time limit, minimum age 17, live timing, medical support and a bag drop.
