One of the most friendly and organised events. With all the amenities a participant needs, you can go out and enjoy this quite stunningly beautiful course. You will be so blown away that you forget you are taking on a Marathon or Half Marathon.

We provide runners with the ability to run marathons in beautiful and safe surroundings supported by enthusiastic volunteers who ensure all runners receive much needed encouragement as they navigate the ups and downs of the various courses. We welcome runners of all abilities.
We are extremely excited with our NEW half marathon in Richmond Park, which will appeal to all runners who are either training for London Marathon, or just simply want to take part in a well-organised event.

Runners will start at the Woldingham School itself and head out along the green valley towards the North Downs Way before reaching amazing Southern views of Kent and Surrey.
Next, runners will follow the short trail path straight through the wooded area onto Granger Hill and down to Tandridge Hill. A narrow, uphill path awaits which will bring you up to the top of the hill. From here, the North Downs Way awaits.
Runners will enjoy breathtaking views along the North Downs Way, down to the bottom of the hill for a short, scenic section of the Vanguard Way.
Next comes a stretch along the Ridge, and from here it's rolling hills left and right as you reach the turning back point.
Runners will then run up the grassy hills towards the trees and along the enclosed trail path back to the Ridge and straight down the Chalk Pit Lane.
Following the path along takes runners steeply up Pitchfront Lane back past Botley Hill Farm. The last section of the route follows the pedestrian path and reaches Knights Garden Centre, travels across Limpsfield Road over to High Lane, and then towards Woldingham Golf Club.
