Gibbet Hill 10k

a fun and challenging event for anyone interested in running

Haslemere Border Athletic Club host annually the Gibbet Hill 10K race which is a multi terrain run through an area of outstanding natural beauty adjacent to the Devils punchbowl. The race gets its name from the grizzly murder of a sailor walking from London to Portsmouth many years ago to join a ship, the two men responsible were caught and hanged at the highpoint on the route of the course.

The race is held on a Wednesday evening, date for 2012 to be announced. It starts on St. Christopher’s Green and finishes on Lion Green at Wey Hill. The race is well marshalled and suitable for serious runners and for those who wish to trot around at their own pace, prizes are awarded at the end in various categories followed by a drink if you are so inclined at the local pub.
