Half Marathon
Starting at Queen Elizabeth Country Park near Petersfield the half marathon follows a route through the Country Park then across fields to the Village of Chalton before picking up the Sussex Border Path, bringing you to the South Downs Way. The route then returns running west for 4 miles on the South Downs Way back through QE Park to the finish.
Half Marathon -Â 10am
10km -Â 10:10amÂ
The half marathon field has wave starts to avoid congestion in the early part of the course where there are a couple of narrow sections on teh route. The waves will be split on estimated finishing times with the faster runners starting first. Prizes for the first three male and female finishers will be awared to the first three to cross the line, so if you think you have a chance of winning please make sure you start in the first wave.Â

10K Trail Run
Taking in the first 2.4miles of the half marathon route, the 10K course will divide and run on the Staunton Way up to where it joins the South Downs Trail as it enters QE Park at the Buriton Gate, the route then returns to the finish along the same route as the half marathon (South Downs Way). Essentially the route is a gradual climb up to halfway then a downhill return to the finish at the base of Butser Hill.
