About
Embark on an unforgettable trail running journey through the heart of Surrey, where ancient forests and rolling fields set the stage for five incredible routes. From the crunch of leaves in Winterfold and Hurtwood Forest to the breathtaking views atop Pitch Hill, this event offers a perfect blend of scenic splendour and punchy hills. Whether you are tackling the grueling 50k Ultra that traverses Leith Hill and the North Downs Way, or enjoying the accessible 6km Short route, you will experience an exhilarating adventure suitable for all levels.
Participants will receive a premium race experience featuring a fully marked course, Precision Fuel & Hydration outposts, and online results. To ensure your day is stress-free and rewarding, we provide free parking, a bag drop, event photography, and a metal finishers medal. After crossing the line, celebrate at the buzzing event village with food and drink, including a complimentary non-alcoholic beer.

Maverick Race
Maverick Race is undoubtedly one of the best trail running organisers in the UK. The company was started down on the Jurassic Coast back in 2013. Since then they’ve delivered events which are guaranteed to take you to some of the most scenic locations in the UK. However, what really separates Maverick is their strive for inclusivity in the outdoors. From 6km entry level runs to 50km ultra marathons, there really is something for everyone. Afterwards you’ll find everyone hanging around, enjoying some fresh pizza, and speaking to like minded people with a shared passion for trail running.
