Hughenden Valley Half Marathon
The Hughenden Valley Half Marathon is a trail race based at Hughenden Manor (HP14 4LA) that follows woodland and rural paths through parts of Naphill, Bradenham and Hughenden. The course covers 21.1 km with approximately +450 m of ascent and is mainly on forest paths with varied undulation and few long or steep climbs.
Navigation is fully marked with orange arrow markers and ribbons, and marshals assist on course. Aid stations are provided mid-route at roughly 7 km, 12 km and 16–17 km, offering water, coke, Precision Fuel & Hydration gels and jelly babies. The ground can be rough and uneven; trail running shoes are recommended.
Event facilities at Hughenden Manor include car parking, toilets and a cafe, and the start/finish area is on the park grounds near the church. Public transport access is available via High Wycombe train station, about a 25 minute walk from the event base. The event operates under a TRA license (No. 7445) and UKA rules. Race services include chip timing with live results, medical support, bag drop, and a finishers souvenir. Entry is open to runners aged 17 and over; standard entry is £32 or £30 for UKA affiliated runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
