Compton Marathon & 16 Mile Challenge

Compton Harriers Running Club stages the Twenty Seventh Compton Downland Challenge on 22 May 2027 in Compton, Berkshire. The event consists of two main races and is based at the village recreation ground next to the Village Hall (RG20 6NP), where the race headquarters are located.

Entry fees are set at £35 in advance if received before 20/05/2027 (noon) and £40 on the day, with an additional £2 for unaffiliated runners. The event has a time limit of seven hours. Route maps and elevation profiles are provided, along with route fly-through videos and photos from 2026. Results from 2026 and previous years are published.

A separate informal six mile stroll route is available for supporters and friends; that stroll has no fee and no prizes. The Compton Downland Challenge is presented as a set of mapped routes across the local area, with information and materials supplied for participants and observers.
