Cranleigh 7 – 14 – 21 miles Race

Sunday 30th March 2025 – 9am

The course is 7 miles – 3.5 miles on undulating rural road, then 3.5 miles on the amazingly beautiful and flat “Downs Link”, an old railway line (even past an old railway station).

One lap = 7 miles / Two laps = 14 miles / Three laps = 21 miles

You can choose on the day (even after the race has started) which distance you want to run. Once you stop at the end of a lap, that’s it – a quick toilet break is allowed (though your race clock will still be ticking) but you can’t stop then restart an hour later. The last 7 mile lap must be started before 12.00

The drinking fountain on the east side of the Common is opened on June 20 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee. It is designed by Henry Woodyer, the architect of the original Cranleigh school buildings. The Common is used for many school sports. Cranleigh derived its name just after the Norman conquest from its local craneries, its meaning being ‘a woodland clearing visited by cranes’. A crane figure stands on top of the old drinking water fountain, which can still be found in the middle of the village in ‘Fountain Square’, and a pair of cranes adorn the crest of the civic coat of arms of Cranleigh Parish Council.
