Combe Gibbet to Overton Race 2027

Challenge yourself with the Combe Gibbet to Overton, a rigorous and rewarding 16-mile trail run through Hampshire and Berkshire's picturesque countryside. Set for March 21, 2027, this race starts at the historic Combe Gibbet hill and finishes in charming Overton. Participants will traverse rolling hills, scenic trails, and, depending on weather conditions, plenty of mud.
This year marks an early start time at noon, giving runners more daylight to tackle the varied terrain. The event includes complimentary transport from Overton to the starting point, with buses departing between 10:30am and 10:45am. Your gear will also be transported back to Overton for a seamless transition.
Safety is paramount, with professionally managed road crossings and marshals stationed throughout the course to ensure smooth navigation through challenging sections. Post-race festivities include hot drinks and cakes available at the finish line in Overton Recreation Centre, providing runners with a well-deserved treat after their accomplishment.
Entry fees are £30 for affiliated members (early bird rate before January 1, 2027) or £34 unattached thereafter. The course conditions can vary; if heavy rain makes parts of the route impassable, an alternative shorter path will be announced no later than one week prior to race day.
Registration takes place at Overton Recreation Centre on Bridge Street in Overton, with parking available nearby at Overton Primary School. Join Overton Harriers for a memorable trail running experience!
