Virtual High Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon
Date / Time
Length
13.10 miles (21.1 km)
Description
The High Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon follows the long distance paths of the High Weald Landscape Trail, the Wealdway and the Tunbridge Wells Circular Walk. The race starts and finishes in the East Sussex village of Groombridge. The route encompasses the surrounding beauty of the Sussex countryside en route, with a venture into the Kent countryside during the last few miles. The course is approximately 80% off-road, and as the runners travel along the picturesque and undulating routes, they will take in a great variety of landscapes containing rolling hills, irregular shaped fields and ancient woodlands.
The High Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon caters for all levels of runner, whether a novice to trail running, or an experienced trail runner. The race provides a great opportunity for those runners that may have run road half marathons, to again challenge themselves by running the half marathon distance, but now on the trails, and thereby getting to experience the joy of trail running, for perhaps the first time.
