Welcome back to the Vineyard

The Hambledon Hilly returns to the stunning Hambledon Vineyard, England's oldest commercial vineyard, on 19 September 2026. Join us for a day of scenic running, and superb food and drink in this beautiful part of the world.

At race HQ within the Hambledon Wine Estate, the vineyard team will be serving high-quality food and beverages, including its award-winning sparkling wine. We're hoping that runners, families, volunteers and supporters will stay with us right through into the afternoon to enjoy the event and help us raise money for Brain Tumour Research and Hambledon Primary School.
