Next Race: 26/09/2027
Eridge Park, Eridge Green, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN3 9JT
One of my favourite races anywhere.
Great route, good marshalling, friendly officials, cake & beer. Couldn't be better.
Pity there were so few entrants this year.
Great marshalls, fantasically and amusingly signed throughout - fun, and yes, undulating!
Cracking home-made cakes and beer at the end. It's a small number of runners, so a friendly vibe from a local club.
Trail running perfection
The only thing I'd add that would be much more eco-friendly is if you had a recycle bin for all the plastic cups you give away with the beer at the end. Asked the guy handing out the beer if there was one and he said no. Felt bad putting mine in the bin and seeing dozens of others in there with other waste presumably unable to be recycled.
Very well organised but insane hills
Really well marshalled and signposted course. Beautiful scenery...the odd hill the heavy roller must have missed ;)
Thank you
Very well organised event and impossible to get lost as it was well sign posted. Enjoyed every hill as well as the down hill. Shame there wasn't a lot of mud on the day. Massive well done Tunbridge Wells Harriers
Really loved the beer and cakes at the end
Wow, what an amazing event. It was my first time but I wish I'd found it years ago. I gave everything top marks except friendly to beginners - definitely not unfriendly but a beginner needs to knows what to expect. It's tough but stunning.
Thanks to everyone at Tunbridge Wells Harriers - the organisation was spot on; the marshals were supportive, plentiful and cheered us all the way; the course was extremely well marked; the beer was generous and tasty and we were spoilt for choice with the cakes.
Scenery is worth the challenge
Such a well organised event. Easy parking, clean toilet facilities, very well marshalled and marked course. Stunning scenery is worth the hills! Plenty of cakes and beer at the end to look forward to. Thank you!
Stunning scenery and tough hills
Amazing event. For me 3 serious hills that just went on and on. Very friendly marshalls and atmosphere. Well marked course taking in all the beauty of the park. Maybe not ideal for a first timer. Nice touch with cake and a pint at the end.
a nice atmosphere
Very well organised and a lovely atmosphere. My first 10 mile trail run so can’t compare it to others, but it was tough going for me. So pleased to see the ‘Finish’ flags
Simply the best trail race I’ve ever done
This is probably my favourite race of all. I first ran it in 2010 and it never disappoints. The setting and scenery are truly special and the organisation and marshalling are first class. The very welcome beer and cakes at the finish, along with a genuinely quality tee-shirt, simply add to the experience. There are lots of tough hills, so including plenty of long hills in training prior to the race is recommended. However, the 10 mile distance makes it doable for anyone in half marathon shape. Conditions underfoot can vary depending on the prevailing weather. For example, parts of the course were a mud bath in 2024, whereas the route last year was mainly on firm trails. Overall, I cannot recommend this race highly enough for anyone who loves running off-road and it remains a rare “10 out of 10” for me.
If you enjoy trail running then this event is a must do.
TW Harriers did a fantastic job with friendly marshals at every turn so no chance of getting lost.
Incredibly well organised, beautiful scenery and very challenging. Delicious cakes & ale to sooth the aches. An amazing event.
Such friendly encouraging TWH folk & stunning scenery. The first event in my diary every year, thank you TWH.
Beautiful, tough, steep
Any race that ends in a beer gets my vote. A stunningly beautiful route, that is super challenging in places. Hard on the knees.
Really hard but always a favourite!
An epic challenge in beautiful Eridge
This was my first time and I absolutely loved it although I found it incredibly tough. The marshals were all really helpful and encouraging and it was very well organised with lots of signage and regular drink stations. It’s a challenging run but it would be nice to attract more beginner runners as the support is so great. Thanks to everyone involved - I hope to come back!
Loved it!
Brilliant course superbly marshalled tough but great fun thank you
A very well organised event incorporating a marvellous course and excellent cakes and beer - can't beat that - beautifully challenging and allowing the competitive spirit and camaraderie to thrive
25 years to celebrate! and here's to the next 25 - looking forward to the muddy version again
Wonderful event, so well organised and welcoming
Thank you for all organisers and volunteers for a fantastic event. I grew up in the area so it was lovely to be able to race around Eridge Park. This was only my second trail race and I enjoyed every minute! The marshals kept us all going, the water stations were nicely positioned after some challenging hills and the finish line cakes and beer went down really well. I will be back!
Superb off road well-organised race in beautiful scenery. A challenging course but well marked and marshalled. And you can't beat cake and beer afterwards!!!
Amazing trail race, brilliant organisation
Seasoned trail runner but first time participant, after being told about this race several times but never made the date clear in my calendar to attend. Should have listened to the recommendations and entered years ago!
Brilliantly organised by very friendly & helpful TWH members. From start to end, the organisation is faultless.
The route is incredible. Trail running perfection. Single track technical woodland trail, muddy downhills, tough climbs, leg-sapping spongy fields, water crossings, this race had it all.
Also brilliantly marked out and super encouraging marshals everywhere.
Really glad to not have another medal thrust in my hand at the end. Glad the entry fee is lower for that, and very happy to swap a medal for the copious amount of delicious cake at the end!
Already on the list to come back next year, can't wait!
