Farnham Pilgrim Marathon ( or Half Marathon) has been described as possibly one of the prettiest trail Events in the UK. It is set to be one of the “must-do” events of the year again! The route is equally challenging but rewarding after all it is the Surrey Hills! The Farnham Pilgrim was awarded a trophy for the “Best New Event” after its inaugural running in 2010. Since that date it has been consistently highly-rated by participants.

This is no ordinary Trail marathon, Its more of a Pilgrimage taking the Pilgrims way and North downs Way, passing 5 churches, an abbey, 2 Manor houses, ponds, rivers, old mills, Vineyards, even Llamas on the Marathon course! with stunning scenery. It is a unique, bespoke event with the option of a Half Marathon Run (or walk) The Marathon halfway point, reaches the amazing St.Marthas church.

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.
