About The Course

Although just 3.9 miles long, make no mistake this race follows an exciting and challenging course. Features include running alongside bubbling Beverly Brook, climbing the tricky 'Toast Rack', glimpsing the Wimbledon Windmill and passing pretty Queensmere before tackling the boggy Rifle Butts. A sweeping decent and visit to the monument completes a grand early evening blast. 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 and flat, prepare to be surprised.
