The Copthorne 200, live.

Nearly twenty loops of the Surrey Hills in 72 hours

The Copthorne 200 is a 200 mile trail ultramarathon on repeated loops between Box Hill and Mickleham in the Surrey Hills.

The Copthorne 200 is a 200 mile ultramarathon from Canary Trail Events in the Surrey Hills. It starts at Boxhill Village Hall at 4pm on 19 November 2026 and finishes at Mickleham Village Hall, with a cut off of 72 hours. The field is limited to 30 entrants, each allowed one crew member. The first edition ran in 2024, when 15 people started in freezing conditions and Storm Bert.

The route covers nearly twenty loops of 10.3 miles, each with about 2,260 feet of ascent, and the organiser gives a total of just over 44,000ft. A loop climbs onto Mickleham Downs and along the “runway”, descends Kamikaze Hill, crosses Headley Heath and reaches Box Hill Village Hall. It then follows the North Downs Way, drops down the Box Hill steps, crosses the River Mole by footbridge and stepping stones, climbs back to the viewpoint and returns over Satan’s Staircase. The course is marked with signs and tape.

Boxhill Village Hall is the base for the whole race, with drop bags, hot food from Friday noon and space to sleep. Crew can meet their participant anywhere on the course until noon on Friday, then only at the two village halls. For those following from home, the halls are where progress shows, loop after loop, through the nights.

A participant can choose to share their own live position on Livebib from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser’s timing, and official results come from Canary Trail Events.
