Event overview
The Surrey Hills Half Marathon is a guided trail run that starts and finishes in Guildford, Surrey. The listed meeting point is St Martha's Hill. The event distance is 13 miles and the listed entry cost is £25 per person. The organiser is Running Adventures, a Guildford-based company that offers guided runs and coaching.
Route and format
The route includes St Martha's Church and hill, the village of Shere, Newlands Corner and Hackhurst Downs, and sections of the North Downs Way. While St Martha's Church and the North Downs Way are visited on every outing, the exact route changes between dates. The event is run as a group rather than a race and participants should be able to sustain an average pace of about 10 minutes per mile (6 minutes per km) on trail for extended periods.
Logistics and kit
A car park is available near the meeting point and the location is a short run or taxi ride from a train station. Evening runs use head torches provided by the organiser for participants to trial, and there are trail shoes available to test. A nonalcoholic beer may be offered at the finish, subject to availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
