Route information

Runners can choose from a selection of three races, which all have fantastic courses that take participants through the countryside surrounding Marlow, the Hambleden Valley and the Chiltern Hills. The Half Marathon and 7 mile routes are mainly traffic-free, winding through stunning country lanes, whilst the new Frankenstein race is 10k of mixed terrain and more challenging, with one-third of the race on road and the rest on trails.
All three races start on Marlow's High Street and conclude at the Race HQ at Marlow Sports Club.

The Marlow 7
This 7-mile route begins on the High Street and ends at Marlow Sports Club, passing through the town of Marlow, and through Pullingshill Wood and Davenport Wood. You can see to gain an elevation of up to 607ft.
Half Marathon
