The Chilterns 30km is a trail running event that takes place in the Chiltern Hills, located approximately 40 minutes northwest of London. The route covers 30 km (18 miles) and features approximately 500 m of total ascent. The course passes through woodland, grass-covered ridge lines, and local villages, utilizing a variety of trails and hidden routes.

Facilities at the site include toilets and a bag storage area. A well-stocked checkpoint is provided along the route to offer refreshments to runners.
