Thursley Common 10km

Thursley Common 10km is a guided group trail run organised by Running Adventures in 2026, with events scheduled in February and July. The route distance is 10km and the cost is listed as £16 per person. Tickets for the event are currently sold out. The run is described as the flattest offered by the organiser and includes a section across the reserve's boardwalk.

The route runs through Thursley National Nature Reserve, a 325-hectare area of heathland. The reserve contains open dry heath, peat bogs, pine and deciduous woodland, and open ponds. The site supports around 20 species of dragonflies and damselflies and a variety of bird species, including Dartford warblers, stonechats, long-tailed tits, goldcrests, redstarts, whitethroats and wheatears.
