The Midsummer Murder Trail Races, set for June 22, 2025, are esteemed trail running events in the scenic Hambleden Valley of Buckinghamshire, UK. Participants can choose between a 10.4-mile race and a half marathon spanning 14.3 miles, both routes showcasing the breathtaking beauty of the Chiltern Hills. The courses wind through picturesque flintstone villages such as Turville and Skirmett, passing iconic landmarks like the windmill featured in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang." Runners will encounter multiple notable climbs, with the half marathon route including eight significant ascents. The event is organized by Racing Line Running and supports Camp Mohawk, a local charity. A 3-hour cut-off time is enforced for each race, with recommendations for those typically completing a flat road half marathon in over 2 hours and 20 minutes to opt for the 10-mile course to alleviate time pressure.
