Surrey Bacchus Marathon, Half Marathon, 10KM and Children's Run
About this event
The Surrey Bacchus Marathon and Half Marathon returns - your chance to enjoy England’s premier Wine Marathon with five tasting stations (serving six different wines) over the Half Marathon and ten over the full Marathon. Half of the route is inside the beautiful Denbies Wine Estate and the other half through National Trust Countryside and woodland along the Pilgrims Way and North Downs Way. It's a demanding route, but you'll have suitable respite at each of the sampling stations, then at the finish you can carry on the party spirit of the event at the post-race Hog Roast (Not included for the children’s run). Recently, we began offering the Bacchus Lite 10km event that you can run, jog or walk. The route will be within Denbies Vineyard, through the vines and offers magnificent views - one wine sample station will be reached and the post-race Hog Roast is included for your entry fee.

Route description
Route description
The route is one lap (Half) or two laps (Full) and starts and finishes at the main building inside Denbies Vineyard near Dorking, Surrey. The route is undulating and hilly in places as it is on the escarpment of the North Downs. Nearly all of the route is on trails taking in sections of the Pilgrims Way and North Downs Way with just the last 2 miles on hard road surfaces.
Using footpaths along the North Downs Way, you will be guaranteed breath-taking views over the Mole Valley, Ranmore Common and the North Downs.
Registration is on the Resultsbase online portal - £3 admin charge. Registration closes on September 3rd at midnight or when the limit of 2700 is reached if earlier.
There will be six start waves, the first for the Full Marathon runners starting at 9.30am, followed by five for the Half Marathon starting at 15 minute intervals with 500 in each. You will need to pre-select your wave so that you can be sure of starting with your friends. The maximum number in any single wave will be 500 runners.
So that we can safely manage the route and the drink sampling stations we have been advised we should have a cut off time in the Full Marathon of 5 hours. Runners who do not reach the half way point by 2hrs 20mins will be asked to finish at the Half Marathon and will receive a Half-Marthon medal. Our last person marshal will start to break down the route following the final wave starts and unfortunately we will not be able to offer drink station or medical support to any runners who continue after the cut off.
