This is a no-frills, 3-hour trail running challenge in the heart of the Surrey Hills. Held in the village of Holmbury St Mary, you’ll run as many 5km laps as you can within the time. Whether you manage one lap or push for more, it's about testing your limits.

How It Works

• No chip timing. You’ll wear a race number and a wristband for every lap you complete.
• Headtorch required – You’ll be on the course after dark, so make sure yours is fully charged and ready to go.
• Prizes for the first male and female runners.

The Route

The route starts at Holmbury St Mary Village Hall and takes you out through the countryside:

The route will take you up and out of Felday Glade in an anti-clockwise direction, heading up to the summit of Holmbury Hill. A gentle but long ascent to start with, then a levelling out mid route followed by a short steep track that will lead you to the top. From there, it’s pretty much downhill for a good 2km section, then another short ascent takes you back to the village hall to register your lap.

The course may be altered based on weather conditions, so expect the unexpected.
