Dunstable Downs Half Marathon
Dunstable Downs Half Marathon is a 21.2 km trail half marathon held in Totternhoe, United Kingdom, in June. It starts and finishes at the National Trust Countryside Centre on Dunstable Downs and includes about 450 m of elevation gain.
The route first runs to the Tree Cathedral and Bison Hill, then makes a full loop of Kensworth Quarry. After that it runs out to Five Knoles and back, then retraces the opening 5 km. The organiser says most of the climbing falls in the first and last 5 km, with a flatter middle section around the quarry.
The course offers ridge views, fast descents and tough climbs, and is waymarked with orange arrows and ribbons. The race is held under UKA rules and licensed by the Trail Running Association.
