COMBE GIBBET TO OVERTON 16 MILE MULTI-TERRAIN RACE - Combe Gibbet to Overton 16 mile Multi-terrain race

The Combe Gibbet to Overton 16 Mile Multi-Terrain Race, scheduled for April 7, 2024, is a well-established event starting at the iconic Combe Gibbet and concluding in Overton, Hampshire. This challenging 16-mile race offers participants a true multi-terrain experience, tracing its roots back through a history of demanding rural running. Runners should anticipate a varied course that tests both endurance and navigation skills, providing a scenic yet rigorous challenge. The terrain is predominantly multi-terrain, meaning it’s not a road race; expect a mix of undulating country paths, bridleways, woodland trails, and potentially some open fields. Conditions can vary significantly with the time of year, but in early April, runners might face muddy sections, uneven ground, and potentially some exposed, windy stretches across the higher points of the course. Notable features of this race include its classic point-to-point nature, traversing the picturesque Hampshire countryside, and the satisfaction of completing a substantial endurance test against a backdrop of historical landmarks.
