Box Hill VK - Dec 2026

Immerse yourself in an exhilarating trail running adventure that focuses on conquering hills like never before. This guided run takes place in and around Box Hill, where you'll explore lesser-known hilly trails brimming with rugged terrain and scenic vistas. The route has been meticulously crafted to deliver over 1000 meters of elevation gain within a compact distance.
As the trail winds through dense woodlands, expansive heathland, and open fields, expect sections that will test your technical skills as well as moments where you might find yourself scrambling on hands and knees up steep inclines. The pace is steady but challenging, with pauses at each summit to catch breaths and soak in the stunning views.
This event caters to runners who are eager to improve their hill-running prowess or those preparing for a hilly trail race. Participants should be comfortable maintaining an average pace of 10 minutes per mile (6 min/km) on trails over extended periods, with fitness levels that match this intensity.
A detailed kit list will guide you through the necessary gear, and Salomon Sense Ride and Speedcross trail shoes are available for testing during registration if interested. Parking is provided at the venue, and specific instructions will be shared a few days before the event to ensure smooth participation.
To cap off your adventure, Running Adventures has partnered with Days Brewing Company to offer participants an alcohol-free beer upon completion of the run. Enjoy this refreshing beverage on-site or take it home as a souvenir from your hill-climbing journey.
