THE 27^th SURREY HILL RACES

Sunday 6th June 2004

Get off the road and try something different this summer! The Surrey Hill Races will take you along the footpaths of the Surrey Hills and provide a challenge to trail runners, orienteers and adventure racers alike. Depending upon the course you run you may visit the summits of Leith Hill, Holmbury Hill and Pitch Hill – and everyone will run through the beautiful and varied countryside to the south west of Dorking.

These mass start races require simple navigation to visit a series of checkpoints along the way, but a copy of the courses is available in advance and scouting your route beforehand is popular and provides a great excuse for some training runs. A purpose drawn map at 1:40,000 scale is provided to all competitors. To obtain a copy of the map and courses in advance send a 9x6” SAE to the Organiser.

The SPORTident electronic checking system is used instead of the old clip card system. This ensures rapid results processing and provides finishers with a printout of their times to each checkpoint. All competitors will require an SI-Card - if you don't have your own, you can hire one on the day.
