Event Overview

The Woldingham Marathon and Half Marathon are trail running events on a single out-and-back course. The half marathon completes the course once, while the full marathon covers it twice.

Course Details

The route starts at Woldingham School. It follows private roads and trails heading south towards the North Downs Way, passing through wooded areas and open fields with views over Kent and Surrey. The course includes sections on the North Downs Way (NDW) and the Vanguard Way (VGW), and passes landmarks such as Gangers Hill, Tandridge Hill, a chalk pit, Botley Hill Farm/Pub, Knights Garden Centre, and Woldingham Golf Club.
