Combe Gibbet to Overton Race

The 2020 edition of the Combe Gibbet to Overton Race on Sunday 5th April is now open

The Combe Gibbet is a stunning and challenging 16 mile cross country race through the beautiful Berkshire and Hampshire countryside. It’s an ideal race to prepare for the spring marathon season and for people looking to do half and full Ironman triathlons in the summer.

Based on previous years we expect the race to sell out well in advance of the race so grab your space now before the race sells out

The race starts at 14.00 on Sunday 5th April 2020 from Combe Gibbet and finishes in Overton. Your race entry includes:

A bus ride from Overton to the start at Combe Gibbet (departing at 12.45)
The transportation of your kit back to the finish where shower and changing facilities are available
All road crossings professionally traffic managed
A souvenir finishers medal

A selection of homemade refreshments will be on sale at the finish as a well-earned reward for finishing the race.
