Set against the stunning backdrop of historic Hillside Village, the HHV Run is an annual celebration of community and athleticism. Taking place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, this race offers runners of all levels a unique blend of scenic routes and challenging terrain. The event features two distance options: a half marathon (13.1 miles) for those seeking a longer challenge, and a fun run (5 kilometers), designed to be accessible for families and first-time participants alike. Both courses wind through the charming streets and parks of Hillside Village, showcasing its rich architectural heritage and vibrant local culture. Runners can expect varied terrain that includes both paved roads and picturesque trails, offering glimpses into the village's lush green spaces and historic landmarks. The race starts in the heart of downtown HHV, where participants are greeted by enthusiastic crowds lining the route to cheer them on. As runners progress through the course, they will experience a mix of flat stretches and gentle inclines that provide both scenic views and opportunities for personal bests. The half marathon route features several notable landmarks such as the iconic Hillside Bridge, which offers panoramic views over the surrounding countryside, and the serene Village Park with its lush gardens. The 5K course is more compact but no less picturesque, taking runners through a series of quaint neighborhoods and past historic homes that tell stories of the village's rich heritage. After crossing the finish line, participants are invited to join in on post-race festivities at the event’s central gathering spot near downtown HHV. Here, they can enjoy refreshments provided by local vendors and connect with fellow runners while enjoying live music performances throughout the day. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking for an enjoyable way to explore Hillside Village, this race promises an unforgettable experience filled with camaraderie and scenic beauty.

About Southwark
Learn more about the host city, Southwark.
Southwark is a district of Central London situated on the south bank of the River Thames, forming the north-western part of the wider modern London Borough of Southwark. The district, which is the oldest part of South London, developed due to its position at the southern end of the early versions of London Bridge, for centuries the only dry crossing on the river. Around 43 AD, engineers of the Roman Empire found the geographic features of the south bank here suitable for the placement and construction of the first bridge.
