Overview
Good Run Guide brings you another Wednesday evening trail race series. The races are 5,5 and 8 miles long loosely based on one of our recommended running routes through scenic and sometimes challenging parts of Wimbledon Common. They start at the iconic windmill and offer 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 with bag drop.
Each finisher receives a mug, chocolate bar and fruit. There are series and individual medals/prizes.

The second race of the series is 5 miles long, and the same course as first. Features include tackling firstly the 'Alps', then the boggy Rifle Butts, running alongside bubbling Beverly Brook, and climbing the tricky 'Toast Rack'. 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, prepare to be surprised.
