The course weaves its way around the villages, rivers and paths of London’s green belt, starting at Hampton Court Palace and ending with a barbecue and prizegiving nearby at our club headquarters in Bushy Park. The course details page gives you everything you need to know about the course and stages – timings, maps, changeover details. Each stage averages about 10 miles, but difficulty levels and distances vary.
The route largely follows the Green Belt Way, a related long distance walking route. You’ll find a wealth of background detail here – the race founder Sean Davis walked every inch of the 220 miles and visited every church, castle, windmill, lockkeeper’s cottage and perhaps even pub along the way, and you can enjoy his unique take on each stage as you go.
