Bacchus Marathon and Half Marathon
Date / Time
Length
5.00 miles (8.0 km)
Description
The Surrey Bacchus Marathon and Half Marathon is your chance to enjoy England’s premier Wine Marathon with five tasting stations (serving six different wines) over the Half Marathon and ten over the full Marathon
Half of the route is inside the beautiful Denbies Wine Estate and the other half through National Trust Countryside and woodland along the Pilgrims Way and North Downs Way. It's a demanding route, but you'll have suitable respite at each of the sampling stations, then at the finish you can carry on the party spirit of the event at the post-race Hog Roast (Not included for the children’s run)
New for 2018 we introduce the Bacchus Lite 5 mile event that you can run, jog or walk. The route will be within Denbies Vineyard, through the vines and offers magnificent views - one wine sample station will be reached and the post-race Hog Roast is included for your entry fee. The 5-miles is a non-competitive fun run/walk and will not have timing - it's just a chance to enjoy the vineyard and sample the atmosphere of the day.
You can predict your finish time for this race based on a recent race you've run. Enter the details below - select a similar type of race (hilliness and terrain) for the best prediction.
