Join us for a unique opportunity to run down…then up the famous Box Hill over the 5k or 10k on Sunday 29th September 2019.
Take the opportunity to run the famous Zig zag road which will be fully CLOSED just for you to be able to run it. Box Hill lies within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Box Hill featured prominently on the route of the 2012 Summer Olympics cycling road race events.
