The Race on the Chase has already gained a strong reputation with runners for its great trails, views and friendly atmosphere. The 2025 event will use the improved Marathon course, to complement the ever popular 10K and Half Marathon races.
All race distances follow a similar type of terrain. Undulating downland is the key feature, following ancient tracks, or droves as they are known due to their historic role as routes to market for cattle and sheep. Ggrassy field margins, shady woodland paths and the ancient turf of Martin Down nature reserve are also feaures. Vertical climb for each course is M 625m, HM 329m and 10K 133m.
For those unfamiliar with the area, it’s trail running heaven, and was the inspiration to start these running events. Runners may pass through one of the many beautiful villages, but often mile upon mile of wide-open countryside stretches out before you, with unspoilt vistas for rolling fields and woodland.
