Hughenden Valley Half Marathon
The Hughenden Valley Half Marathon is a trail race that follows a route around the National Trust grounds at Hughenden Manor and adjacent woodlands. The course covers 21.1 km with roughly 450 m of ascent and uses a mixture of woodland and rural paths.
The route passes through parts of Naphill, Bradenham and Hughenden and is mostly on forest tracks with undulation and no long steep climbs. The ground can be rough and uneven, so trail running shoes are recommended. Navigation is provided with orange arrow markers and ribbons, and marshals assist on the course.
Aid stations are located at approximately 7 km, 12 km and 17 km and typically offer water, cola, Precision Fuel & Hydration gels and jelly babies. A GPX file and OS map route are available for download for those who wish to follow the course on a watch or phone.
The event base is at Hughenden Manor where parking, toilets and a cafe are available and the start/finish area sits on the park grounds near the church. Entries are priced at £32 or £30 for UKA affiliated runners. Runners must be at least 17 years old. The race is held under a TRA licence and under UKA rules. Services at the event include chip timing with live results, medical support and a bag drop. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
