This challenging 7 mile road race starts at Chipstead and is held in July in conjunction with the Chipstead Flower Show famous for maintaining a traditional  environment of family entertainment. Refreshments are available.

The event has grown in popularity attracting 400 runners with all abilities taking part. The race is part of the Surrey Road League. Changing and shower facilities are available in the nearby Chipstead Rugby Club.

The course is run on rolling quiet roads in the Chipstead area. All finishers receive a medal and prizes are presented from the show ring. There are prizes for first, second and third men and women and for the first finishers in each Vets category. 

Our chosen charity for 2013 is St. Christopher's Hospice to thank them for the help and support given to Mark Burtwell and his family in 2011. Also, the Mark Burtwell Cup will be presented to the first SLH member to finish the race.

Boxing Day Handicap


 

Danny Hutton, Winner 2012

The Boxing Day race is about two miles long, following a course which, after a short but tough climb, follows the top of Happy Valley and returns along the bottom of the valley.

The race is run on “yacht handicap” rules; the slowest runner starts first, followed by the next slowest and so on until the fastest runner leaves about 10 minutes later. It is intended to be a friendly race, relatives and friends are welcome to join in.

The race starts at 11.00; numbers and a start time are available from the Club House from 10.00 to 10.30. All participants are requested to bring a wrapped prize of value around 3 pounds. These are distributed at random in the Bar after the race - so everyone gets a prize!.
