Surrey Hills Half Marathon
A guided trail half marathon around the Surrey Hills, starting and finishing in Guildford with the meet point at St Martha's Hill. The route is about 13 miles and follows a variety of trails, including sections of the North Downs Way.
The course routinely passes St Martha's Church and includes views from Newlands Corner, Hackhurst Downs, and the village of Shere. The exact route varies from date to date while maintaining those regular highlights.
This is a group run rather than a race. Participants should be comfortable maintaining an average trail pace of around 10 min per mile (6:15 min per km) for prolonged periods. Steeper climbs are often hiked and the group regroups regularly. A full kit list is provided in advance. Torches are available to trial on the evening event and an alcohol-free beer may be offered at the end of the run subject to availability.
Practical details: the event has a car park and is a short run or taxi ride from a train station. The cost is £29 per person. The organiser runs weekend dates and a special midsummer evening date; the route and experience may change between dates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
