Explore the beauty of the Surrey Hills on a guided trail half marathon.

Starting and finishing in Guildford, this scenic trail half marathon takes you through some of the most breathtaking landscapes the Surrey Hills has to offer. Highlights include the iconic St Martha's Church and hill, picturesque village of Shere, and stunning vistas from Newlands Corner and Hackhurst Downs. Along the way, you'll run a variety of trails, including sections of the renowned North Downs Way.

While we always visit St Martha's Church and the North Downs Way, the route changes from date to date, ensuring a unique experience every time you join us.

Choose from our weekend dates or opt for a special midsummer evening run — the perfect post-work adventure!
​
This run is perfect for people new to trail running, runners who simply like to run with like minded people, or those that haven't felt comfortable running trails alone.

Matt Buck

meet your guide

I’m Matt Buck, a Salomon and Suunto Ambassador, experienced trail and ultra runner, mountain leader, qualified guide, and coach.

​I’ve tackled some of the toughest races and challenges around the world. I'm passionate about trail running and love sharing stories, guidance and advice with my clients. You don't need to worry about where you are going or the route we will take, I will take care of everything so all you need to do is concentrate on running and having fun. 

Pace: This is not a race! We will run as a group and share this experience together. You should be able to comfortably run an average pace of 10 min/miles | 6 min/km for prolonged periods of time on the trail, and have a suitable level of fitness.

​
If you prefer to enjoy trails at a slightly more relaxed pace, check out our Hiking Adventures.

Kit: A full kit list will be provided, I have Silva head torches for the evening run, as well as Salomon trail shoes available to test.

Torches: Running Adventures are proud to partner with Silva and have a range of Silva torches for you to trial on the evening run.
​

Getting there: Guildford has excellent transport links by both car and train. Full details will be provided.

Info: We will be in touch with further detailed information and instructions a few days before the run, if you haven't heard from us, please get in contact.


FREE BEER: Running Adventures have partnered with the wonderful Athletic Brewing Company, one of the most delicious alcohol free beers around. You can expect to receive a lush beer (subject to availability) at the end of the run to either enjoy with your new found running pals, or take home to have another time. ​

"If you're thinking about trying trails or if you are experienced and looking for a guide then Matt is your man. (It was my first guided trail run and my first night trail run.) I'm glad he knew where we were going because I had no idea. The pace was steady with lots of stops and checks to make sure we were all together and ready to push on. It was challenging but we were in safe hands."
