Box Hill Vertical KM

Dorking, United Kingdom • 29 Nov 2025

Event overview

The Box Hill Vertical KM is a guided trail run held on specific dates in 2025 and 2026 at Box Hill, Dorking, Surrey. The meeting point is Stepping Stones Car Park. The route covers 12.5 miles with approximately 1000 m of elevation gain. The entry cost is £19 per person. Parking is available and the location is a short run or taxi ride from a train station.

Route, guide and requirements

The route moves through woodland, heathland and open fields and is designed to concentrate elevation gain in a relatively short distance. Some sections are technical and include scrambling; the route does not use repeated hill reps. The run is led by a qualified guide, coach and mountain leader and is organised as a group run rather than a race.

Participants should be able to sustain an average trail pace of about 10 min/mile (6 min/km) for prolonged periods and have a suitable level of fitness. A full kit list and further event information are provided before the run. Trail shoes are available to test and alcohol-free beer may be offered at the end, subject to availability.
