THE HURT
Latest information
Provisional Date for 2012: July 7th 2012. To be confirmed
The course will be the same and there could be something special on offer. If you like serious endurance running, this could be the one for you. To be confirmed.
A woodland wonderland of trees, tracks and terrifying hills, but you are rewarded with some spectacular views across to France (with good eyesight) and fast downhill running. The water station at 6km, marshals cheering you on and e-timing will make this another great event.
With kind permission from The Friends of The Hurtwood, our latest event, The Hurt is claiming to be the newest and most challenging 10k trail run in the South East. It might just hurt...
Open to fell runners, fun runners and walkers, if you like climbing and beautiful views this one's for you.
What:
10k trail run/walk/climb through the picturesque woodlands of the Greensand Ridge of The Surrey Hills. This magnificent event will offer superb scenery as you race under the tree canopy and along the tracks.
If you like running through forests then this is for you.

Then, off Pitch Hill down into the valley and up again to the summit of Holmbury Hill, again via steep climbs and gradual ascents. Then off the back of Holmbury Hill, returning to the finish via some previous descents but in the opposite direction.... but the final 200m being all down hill.
