Event Overview
The Bewl Water Summer race series takes place in Wadhurst, Kent, offering a variety of distances suitable for different preferences. The event is set against the backdrop of the Bewl Water reservoir, featuring a course that loops around the shoreline and through surrounding woodland areas.
The following distances are available:
- 10 km
- Half Marathon
- Marathon
- Ultra 50 km
Course Details
The terrain consists of a mixture of woodland dirt tracks, grassy trails, and some sections on tarmac. The route follows the jagged shoreline of the reservoir, which results in a series of short climbs and descents. Participants should be prepared for undulating ground, including sections with tree roots and potential mud depending on recent weather conditions.
The half marathon distance includes approximately three checkpoints or refreshment stations. Runners participating in the longer distances are advised to carry their own fluids to supplement the available aid stations. Portions of the course involve out-and-back sections or loops where runners may pass each other in opposite directions.
Facilities and Participation
Registration and race pack collection occur on the day of the event at the onsite cafe area. Parking is available at the venue, though participants should allow time to walk from the registration area to the start line. All finishers receive a bespoke medal upon crossing the line, and prizes are awarded to top finishers. The event utilizes chip timing to record participant results.
