Leith Hill Half Marathon

The Leith Hill Half Marathon is a beautiful, hilly trail run, now in its 17th year, which remains one of the ultimate challenges of the off-road running events calendar in the South East. It may not be the toughest race out there, but - at 13.1 miles of trails and 1,800 feet of overall elevation - it’s tough enough!

If you are looking for something challenging and memorable, come and sample the delights of running in the Surrey Hills. First-time trail half-marathoners are welcome, as well as those who return year after year to find out if they are still tough enough to take on ‘the hill’. (If it is your first time, make sure to look out for our free guided training runs in the lead up to race day.)

Included in the entry price:

• The chance to see the UK Wife Carrying Race before you start
• 4 water stations (at 2, 5, 8 and 11 miles)
• Friendly and supportive marshals
• Prizes – Denbies sparkling wine for male and female winners, Denbies wine for second and third place
• Personalised runner’s race number
• Commemorative reusable medal
• Bottle of local low alcohol beer to quench your thirst
• Full cooked English breakfast (veggie option available) to replace those lost carbs
• You also have the option to purchase a branded ‘Finisher’ running T-shirt with your name on the back, until 3 weeks in advance of race day. This keeps the entry cost down for those who do not want one and avoids waste.

They work tirelessly to rescue good, surplus food from supermarkets and stores so it can be shared with our local community.
