Now in its 19th year, the Y2Y North Downs Trek/Run follows the North Downs Way along the beautiful Surrey countryside. Choose between a 26.2 mile Marathon (starting in Guildford) or a 14 mile route (from Ranmore Common) with both routes finishing at YMCA East Surrey in Redhill. Each distance is well-marked with stunning views, undulating landscapes and occasional challenging hills.
We provide refreshments at support stops en route as well as showers, changing, cake and hot/cold drinks at the finish back at the YMCA. Each route will have experienced leaders/backmarkers for navigational support. This event is open to ages 18+.
