A challenging multi-terrain 30km running event that uses undulating paths and established tracks threading through woodlands, fields and parkland across the beautiful North Downs.

Organised by local running club Istead & Ifield Harriers, with volunteers from across the community helping marshal, bake, cut back overgrowth and cheerlead, this not-for-profit event, has a great tradition of supporting local charities with its surplus funds each year, donating £2,000 to Valley Hospital Charity to date from race proceeds, along with making other charitable donations.

The event features in the British Masters race calendar and the Road Race Kent Grand Prix.

The cut off time for completion of the course is 4hrs 30mins.

Venue Facilities: Toilets, Onsite parking, Refreshments, Playpark and Onsite retailer.
