Hambledon Hilly is a trail running event held at Hambledon Vineyard in the South Downs National Park on Saturday 19th September. The event offers a range of timed races across footpaths, quiet lanes and village trails, with routes that finish on the vineyard estate. The vineyard visitors centre and the race HQ within the Hambledon Wine Estate provide food and drink on the day.

• 5 km on lanes and trails through Hambledon village and the estate.
• 10 km on lanes and trails with the final section on the estate.

The 1 km and 2 km races allow children to be accompanied by an adult at no extra cost. The 10 km course includes a midway water station. The 20 km trail requires mandatory kit and navigation tools to be carried or downloaded to a device; marshals will be present at busy road crossings only. All races are chip timed and trophies are awarded for first, second and third places in the stated categories. Event proceeds support Brain Tumour Research and Hambledon Primary School. Parking is available on the estate and the race HQ is located in the large white marquee behind the vineyard restaurant. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
