Combe Gibbet to Overton Race

Event

The Combe Gibbet to Overton race is scheduled for Sunday 29 March 2026. It is a multi-terrain point-to-point race that starts at Combe Gibbet and finishes in Overton. The course distance is 16 miles and it runs through Berkshire and Hampshire countryside.

Course and logistics

The route is undulating and includes trails and muddy sections. A GPX file of the route is provided by the organiser. Race entry includes a coach transfer from Overton to the start, transportation of kit back to the finish, and professionally managed road crossings. If ground conditions are unsuitable, an alternative route using about half of the standard course will be used; this alternative does not start at Combe Gibbet, uses more of the Wayfarers Walk, and has limited parking at its start, so most runners are expected to use the coaches. A decision on any course change will be made no later than one week before the race.
