Good Run Guide brings you the second of three Wednesday Evening trail races based on one of our recommended running routes through scenic and sometimes challenging parts of Wimbledon Common. It offers 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. Enter 2 of the three and get the 3rd free.

Race 2 is 5 miles long and slightly hillier than the first, its features include tackling the boggy Rifle Butts, running alongside bubbling Beverly Brook, climbing the tricky 'Toast Rack' with the special addition of a trip through 'the Alps'. If you thought Wimbledon Common was boring and flat, prepare to be surprised.
These are some of the views along the route:
