Martian Race

The race is organised completely by volunteers and all proceeds are distributed to local charities that are carefully selected by the Woking Lions. 

The event is growing with 2024 raising £16,500. When you register for this race you will directly benefit local charities.

The sandpits on Horsell Common are famously the site where the Martians first landed in H.G. Wells's novel The War of the Worlds. The race is in its sixth year and the route always goes through the historic sandpits which have been chosen as this is the theme and the name for the event.
