Route information

The race begins near the Reigate Hill Car Park, and takes runners out on the forested, undulating trails of North Downs Way. This will take you out towards Bletchworth Lime Quarry and then on to the well-known Boxhill Lookout.
The terrain will be varied, with some steep ascents and descents along sandy and rutted trails, providing a fun and challenging test.
The challenging terrain combined with the spectacular views make this a fantastic race for all keen trail runners.
