Roly's Run

All 3 courses will follow a clockwise loop starting at Swanmore taking in Beacon Hill / Exton / Meonstoke. 20/40 mile runners will continue on the South Downs Way on a cheeky climb to Winchester Hill. Ordinarily the 40 mile route would take the South Downs Way to QE Country Park, but this year we have needed to change to a 2x20 mile route format to help manage the current circumstances and additional COVID management measures.

From Meonstoke, all participants will head back on the old railway line to Swanmore via Droxford. The finish will be back at the village hall where a hot drink and food will await you! The course is ~80% trail, has some amount of climbing and can be tricky underfoot in places, particularly in wet weather or after persistent rain (e.g. loose stones, tree roots, slippery descents on chalky paths).
