There is always a 10 minute mandatory pre-race briefing at the start just to talk though important race day facts including the course marking, to make you aware of any hazards, and to give you an overview of the course conditions. The race health and safety is also vitally important to a successful race day so please attend this briefing so you know what you need to do if you have any issues whatsoever.

The start time for the marathon will be at 9.00am sharp and race will start in a small field close to the Reigate Hill Car Park near the North Downs Way trail, which will be well signposted. The marathon route is a two lap out / back course which starts adjacent to the North Downs Way trail and traverses past the Betchworth Quarry out towards the Boxhill lookout point where the turnaround point will be.

The start time for the half marathon is 9.30am sharp, this route also starts in a small field adjacent to the Reigate Hill Car Park near the North Downs Way trail and the trail heads out along the same run route as the marathon traversing past the Betchworth Quarry out towards the Boxhill lookout turnaround point, then returning to the start. This sandy and rutted trail is challenging and there are some stunning views of the surrounding downs. It will be very well marked and marshalled throughout with well stocked check points.

The registration at the Bridge House Hotel, Reigate Hill, Reigate, Surrey RH2 9RP will be open from 7.00 am sharp, so we would suggest that you get there with plenty of time to spare in order to get changed and get your baggage secured in the designated conference room area. There will be tear off Tyvek baggage tags that correspond numerically with your colour coded race numbers on the day, so please ensure that these are tagged onto your bag when you hand your bag to the baggage marshal. When you collect your race bags you will need to show your race bib number for security purposes to collect it again. There is no liability for any loss of personal possessions but there will be someone in charge of the baggage.
