The 7th 1st Annual Headtorchruns Marathon

Thursday 28th December 2023 19:30

Now in its seventh year, the 7th 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 work off some of those Christmas calories we all tend to pile on over the festive period.

What you get.

A guided run over the fabulous Surrey Hills & North Downs, an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with our “standard” Marathon distance of 27miles. A mulled wine & mince pie checkpoint at halfway & then once we’re back in the hall from the run we can have our post run party with plenty of mulled wine & mince pies.

Although the run will take roughly 7.5hrs to get round, please ensure you are able to run a Marathon in 5hrs or less to enable this to happen. The guides will keep the group moving at a 5hour marathon pace (10-11minute miles) but allowing for stiles & grouping this takes it to 7.5hrs

Please bring along a few nibbles & drinks to share with the others in the event.

Entry is the same as previous years. Please read below.

Entry fee is £35. Each entrant will sign up via our registration process & if they don’t enjoy the run, they can ask for a refund by Bong-ing the Gong. No refunds are offered unless requested on the night.

**** If you don’t turn up for the event, your entry fee, after costs will go directly to our charity Justgiving page & you will receive nothing back.****

You will be given the opportunity on the night to donate your entry fee to the charity if you so wish.

There will be no refunds or deferments to entrants who cannot make it, this is a charity night & we make it clear that we want to make as much money for KCH on the evening as we can.

As before, the post race party should be a “Cracker”.
