Route information
For those of you who ran the North Downs Half Marathon & 10K in June, there will be something familiar about the route of this autumn version of the event. But be warned in October weather conditions, it's a completely different challenge.
There will be no more brambles and nettles to contend with or fields of Forget-me nots. Instead, you can enjoy shades of red and gold as you navigate the autumnal woodland trails and narrow country paths.
Be warned though, what was once a hard-packed trail might well be transformed into a muddy slope. Fun! https://explore.osmaps.com/route/11538703/ndhm-route?lat=51.240290&lon=-0.370583&zoom=13.4274&overlays=&style=Standard&type=2d&placesCategory=ExternalLink

Challenging course and friendly marshals. However, I think a nicer medal for £37 is a reasonable expectation. Also, as of Monday evening, no results.

I did enjoy the run but gruelling course which I struggled with as recovering from hip replacement. Lots of support from the marshals and organisers. Brilliant.

It was hard! Setting is beautiful and logistics very straightforward. Didn’t think I’d make it after first 5k so I guess the timing of the hills made sense. Did get lost towards the end with another runner at the approx 18-19 mile mark which was frustrating but we managed to find our way back. Not sure if walkers had taken the markers…. but not just me!

Really great course, I had an exceptional time. However the route had a few failings. Brilliant signposted 90% of the time however there are crucial points where there were no flags, arrows or staff. This was between mile 6 and 7. This made all the front runners run about an extra 1.2km. Not the end of the world but still I irritating. This along with a few other parts of lacking sign posting. Please fix this for next year and I’ll be back :) x

Too few marshals and unclear signage. No oversight or marshal briefing or update. Very frustrating because it should be an easy win and standard to expect.
