Bewl Water Autumn

Bewl Water Autumn is a bi-annual race series that starts near the Bewl Water Visitor Centre in Lamberhurst, Kent. Routes follow the reservoir and run on a combination of undulating rural wooded trails and some quiet country lanes, with lake views for most of the route.

The event offers these distances:

  • 10 km out and back approximately 3.1 miles with a marshalled turnaround and 2.5 hour time limit
  • Half Marathon 13.1 miles 0.6 mile loop then a 12.5 mile loop, 6 hour limit
  • Marathon 26.5 miles 1 mile loop then two 12.5 mile loops, 7.15 hour limit
  • Ultra 50 km two 12.5 mile loops then a 6.25 mile loop, 8 hour limit

Distances were measured using a Garmin Fenix 6X Pro Solar watch and are noted as being as accurate as trail races can be; the marathon may be slightly longer and actual distance can vary with the line run on trails.

Event information includes course maps, GPX routes, a route video, medals, entrants lists and FAQs. Runners World has rated this as one of the top 10 races in the U.K. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
