Leith Hill Half Marathon
Leith Hill Half Marathon is a 13.1 mile trail half marathon held in Dorking, United Kingdom, in March. The course uses footpaths and bridleways through the Surrey Hills and starts and finishes at The Nower, on the western edge of Dorking.
The route is out and back. It climbs almost immediately from the start, passes through Westcott, and continues up Wolvens Lane towards the Plough pub in Coldharbour. The final mile is a steep ascent to Leith Hill Tower, the highest point in south-eastern England, before runners return along the same track. The organiser gives the total ascent as 1,800 feet.
Race headquarters is at The Priory School in Dorking. It is a hilly trail run with refreshments after the race.
