P24 – The Longest Attended Day
Saturday 18 June 2022
Think you could run 1 mile on the hour every hour for 24 hours? Easy right?
Then come and join us for the first ever ‘attended’ version of the P24 to be held on the summer solstice weekend on 18th / 19th June at the Denbies Wines Estate in Dorking.
How does a P24 work?
Pretty simply really – we’ll have a 1 mile route set up (as flat as possible) and then each hour, at the same time each hour, you run 1 mile and then repeat 24 times across the 24 hours. Simple.
The event includes full chip timing and our legendary 12mm thick, half kilo, P24 finisher’s medal for all those who complete the 24 hours. There’s on-site camping included for tents (no mobile homes / campers I’m afraid) or if you can’t be bothered to pitch an actual tent then onsite sitting around in between miles included and, of course, full 24 hour access to toilet and shower facilities.
During daytime hours there is access to the onsite cafe which serves a multitude of hot food and has an outdoor serving hatch for teas, coffees, drinks, bacon rolls, sausage rolls and a selection of vegetarian & vegan food
We’ll also be co-ordinating our VIRTUAL version of this event simultaneously across the same 24 hour period for a truly integrated ‘V-Live’ event with both attended and virtual runners in unison.
Places will be strictly limited for the attended event and if you don’t get a space then please do consider joining us virtually to be part of this epic endurance challenge.
DENBIES NORTH DOWNS HALF MARATHON & 10K
Sunday 26th June, 2022
Run for the first time in 2021, this wonderful trail half marathon and 10K showcases the best of Denbies vineyard as well as the surrounding Surrey Hills. It’s not an easy course but then there are no easy routes up and down the North Downs Escarpment. The run is partically around the paths of the Denbies estate, before heading out to the Pilgrims way taking in views of the North Downs before running back via the North Downs way and through the vines to finish at Denbies. The 10K follows largely the first 3 miles and the last three miles of the half marathon route.
New for 2022, this event is now DOG-FRIENDLY with a canicross only wave, medals for doggies that cross the finshline and a separate canicross prize category! Scroll down for more information!
Start Times:
09.45am Canicross Wave
10.00am Half marathon AND 10Km Wave
