Great Racing on a gloomy day. Results on GRG Wimbledon Trail Series page and via the button above!

Good Run Guide brings you another Wednesday evening trail race series under UKA rules. The 3 races are 5,5 and 8 miles long loosely based on one of our recommended running routes through scenic and sometimes challenging parts of Wimbledon Common. They start at the iconic windmill and offer a mixture of adventure, fun and challenge all set within an area of calm and tranquility that feels miles away from the urban sprawls of South West London. Large free car park at the start.

Each finisher receives a mug, chocolate bar and fruit. There are series and individual medals/prizes.  Also prizes for first Mens and Ladies Teams.

About The Course

Click the "Route Map" button below to see a map of the course.

The first race of the series is 5 miles long, this race follows an exciting and challenging course. Features include tackling first the 'Alps', then the boggy Rifle Butts, running alongside bubbling Beverly Brook, and climbing the tricky 'Toast Rack'. The run is designed so that it will be much tougher than your average 5K but at the same time accessible to runners of all standards. If you thought Wimbledon Common was boring, prepare to be surprised.
