About this session
A choice of 2k Mini-Martians Race (Age restricted kids race), 5k, 10k or 21k distances through the heathland of Horsell Common. The route is flat with a mixture of shaded woodland, heathland, the famous sandpits and grassy meadows. The 2K fun race will be around the McLaren parkland, all in close distance of the Race Village. The 5k and 10k routes are a single lap, the 21k is two laps.
The runs will start from 08.45. The cut-off time for the finish of all distances will be 12:30.
All finishers will be awarded a medal (including the mini-martians race) and there will be cash prizes for the adult race winners.
The race is organised completely by volunteers and all proceeds are distributed to local charities that are carefully selected by the Woking Lions.
The event is growing with 2025 raising £20,000. In 2026 we would like to surpass that. When you register for our race you will directly benefit local charities.
The sandpits on Horsell Common are famously the site where the Martians first landed in H.G. Wells novel The War of the Worlds. Our race is in its Seventh year and the route always goes through the historic sandpits we have chosen this as our theme and the name for the event.
