The 1st Annual Headtorchruns Marathon

SATURDAY 28th DECEMBER  2024 @19:30

Now in its eigth year, the 8th 1st Annual Headtorch Marathon takes place on the 28th December from Mickleham Village Hall.

A social Marathon with a difference. This guided event is the ideal way to have a worry free run over the hills chatting to your mates. It's also got the added bonus of working off some of those Christmas calories we all tend to pile on over the festive period.

The Winterfold 55 is a single loop course that takes in some of Surrey's most iconic trails including sections of the North Downs Way and the Greensands Way. The race starts from Mickelham Village Hall and takes in Reigate Hill before looping round and heading out towards Leith Hill and Winterfold Woods, then heading up to the North Downs Way and Box Hill to complete the loop. The route and elevation make this a tough event, but throw in the Winter weather and short daylight hours combine to make this a properly challenging race.

The Beer 21 is back for 2025!

After a roaring success at this year's event, we're going again, bigger & better.

The big question is, can you drink beer and run at the same time? You're an Ultrarunner, of course you can & we have just the race for you!

The Rhino Run

SATURDAY 28th JUNE 2025 @ 9:00am

Here at Canary Trails, we're all about Charity fundraising, and when Save the Rhino asked us to put on an event to help their mission, we jumped at the chance. The concept is simple: it's a single 13.1-mile loop with an aid station at 6.5 miles for the half and two loops with 3 checkpoints for the full marathon.  The half & full marathons have a generous cut-off of 8hrs for both events making them ideal for walkers as well. All profits for the event shall be split between Save the Rhino & our Charity of Liver Cancer Research.​

With a generous cut-off of nine hours, the Two Towers 50km race is a fully marked single loop course with three well stocked checkpoints and has been designed to not only appeal to the experienced racer who wants to race it hard, but also for the first time ultra runners who want to experience a night race with a headtorch.

The Copthorne 200

THURSDAY 20th NOVEMBER 2025 @ 16:00

Modelled on the infamous Caesars Camp races, The Copthorne Races take place in Surrey, featuring a wide mix of terrain, woodland and contouring in and around the Box Hill, Mickleham and Headley areas. Indeed, the race name is a play on words as Headley was part of the Copthorne Hundred, an administrative division devised by the Saxons.
