Roly's Run
Sunday, 16 November 2025
Swanmore, Southampton, Hampshire, UK
The annual Roly's Run on 16 November 2025 includes an approximately 15, 20 and 40 mile distance in the Meon Valley, Hampshire.
The courses all have a 15 mile circular loop in common, taking in Swanmore, Beacon Hill, Meonstoke and Droxford. The 20 and 40 mile runners continue on the South Downs Way on a climb to Winchester Hill. The 40 mile route includes a loop covering East Meon, Ramsdean and Butser Hill.
Terrain around 80% trail with some amount of climbing. It can be challenging in places, particularly in wet weather or after persistent rain (e.g. loose stones, tree roots, slippery descents on chalky paths).
Walkers are welcome in the 15 and 20 mile events.
The event is in memory of a lost friend and ultra-runner Rich (aka Roly) and raises funds towards worthwhile causes.
