Starting and finishing at St Martha's, Guildford, this run features some of the best parts of the North Downs Way and surrounding areas, including the infamous Box Hill. You will be guided by Matt Buck, an experienced ultra runner, running coach and Salomon athlete. This run is perfect as your first taste of ultra running, the route is taken care of and you will get the chance to learn from an experienced ultra runner, and get any running questions you may have answered.
We will explore the trails of the Surrey Hills, passing through small villages, offering beautiful views of the downs, before heading up onto the downs.
