Karen Jones Me and Archie loved being the last runner half marathon. Thank you to all marshals, loved our chats and thanks for all the snacks. The look of relief when i popped round the corner made me chuckle and was lovely to have some walking company albeit short from one of the 4th Farnham Scouts, good luck with the fundraising. Great event, might just run it next year š

Farnham Pilgrim Marathon ( or Half Marathon) is 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 going the other way this year so equally challenging but rewarding after all it is the Surrey Hills!
The Farnham Pilgrim was awarded a trophy for the āBest New Eventā 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 4 churches, manor houses, ponds, rivers, even Llamas on the Marathon! with stunning scenery. It is a unique, bespoke event with the option of a Half Marathon Run or walk and Family Walk. The Marathon halfway point, reaches the amazing St.Marthas church.
With a whole lot of other activities to keep your supporters happy. The Farnham Pilgrim was awarded a trophy for the āBest New Eventā after its inaugural running in 2010. Since that date it has been consistently highly-rated by participants, and Runners World places it in the TOP TEN marathons for 2015.
