A challenging trail Half Marathon with beautiful scenery and outstanding views in the Surrey Hills.

This race is entering its 14th year. It has become a very popular and successful event.

It is renowned for the large number of friendly marshals, has frequent water / refreshment stations, free parking and many other facilities.

Farnham Pilgrim Half Marathon is possibly one of the toughest, prettiest trail half marathons in the UK. It is set to be one of the “must-do” events of the year again! The route is challenging and hilly – after all it is the Surrey Hills! This is no ordinary half marathon. It is a unique, bespoke event with the option of a full marathon

First Aid

Marked and well-marshalled route (the maximum distance between water-stations is 6 miles!)

Very well organised race with plenty of support, aid stations and more than enough marshalls.

This is a really excellent event. Superbly organised with loads of water stations and marshals (all sorts of sugary snacks at the water stations too). The route is beautiful: fairly hilly, but beautiful. Not one for a PB, but a fantastic run.

This event is brilliant organised and very friendly. I was slightly apprehensive of the course knowing there were some stinker hills but nothing too horrendous with lots of downhills to make up your time.

A once in a lifetime marathon, never to be repeated! A brute of course but will leave you with a sense of achievement. Feed stations and their volunteers were top drawer. Organisers and marshals make this a special race.

Fantastic run, great organisation and super route. Plently of water stations, cake at finish too which i loved after a hard run!

One of the best off road marathons I have ever done! will definitely do it again next year! And very well organised and marshaled same as very often water stations

First time at the Pilgrim Half Marathon but my 4th this year and my favourite! Yes it’s hilly and challenging but it’s beautiful and so so friendly. The water stops are plenty and stocked up with biscuits, bananas, cakes, mars bars you name it! The marshalls are super friendly and encouraging. Absolutely loved it. Some of the hills are better walked but plenty of lovely downhills. It had rained all week and a few bits were muddy but considering it was really well drained. Would 100% recommend and we will be there next year!!

It’s a very scenic course, but incredibly challenging, with 2,489 ft of elevation over the 26.2 miles, including a few brutal hills! Fantastically organised too, with friendly and supportive marshalls and signposting around the course.
