Hambledon Hilly
Saturday 19th September
Entries close 23:59 on Wednesday 16th September
Come and join us for our 11th edition of the Hambledon Hilly, a trail running event for the whole family from 1km to 20km in the beautiful South Downs National Park.
The Hambledon Hilly returns to the stunning Hambledon Vineyard, England's oldest commercial vineyard, on 19 September this year. Please join us for a day of scenic running, and superb food and drink in this beautiful part of the world.
At race HQ within the Hambledon Wine Estate, the vineyard team will be serving high-quality food and beverages, including its award winning sparkling wine. We are hoping that runners, families, volunteers and supporters will stay with us right through into the afternoon to enjoy the event and help us raise money for the Brain Tumour Research and the Hambledon Primary School.
The main vineyard visitors centre will also be open on the day for tours, tasting and dining. Bookings should be made well in advance at www.hambledonvineyard.co.uk
A big thank you to our main sponsor, De Mellow & Co and our support sponsors, Country House Company, Hartridges Soft Drinks and Bowman Ales.
