Event overview

Bacchus is a celebration of wine, music and running!

The course weaves in and out of Denbies Vineyard with sections in the North Downs which is stunningly beautiful but tremendously challenging too.

wine

You'll have chances to sample a selection of wines produced on the estate en route and a selection of snack food - fresh fruit, cheese and biscuits or a selection of deserts - often to the accompaniment of live music.

The wine and food stops are to be savoured and enjoyed rather than to be rushed past at speed. Far from running a PB, it is quite likely that Bacchus will be your slowest ever half marathon or 10K and you should be proud to admit it! It shouldn't be any other way.

Just after the finish is the legendary post-race, hog roast where the music goes on long into the afternoon and early evening!

  • Fun runs for grown-ups and children
