Bewl Water Summer
Lamberhurst, United Kingdom • 13 Jun 2026
Event overview
The Bewl Water event series is a bi-annual set of trail races held at Bewl reservoir near the Bewl Water Visitor Centre in Lamberhurst, Kent. The location sits in around 1,000 acres of Kent and Sussex countryside and the routes run close to the reservoir, through forested areas and open countryside. Routes are mainly off road, with sections on undulating rural wooded trail and some quiet country lanes, providing views of the lake. All courses start and finish beside the main Visitor Centre.
