Martian Race

The Lions Martian Race on 25th June 2023, is a 5k, 10k or 21k race through the shaded woodland of Horsell Common near Woking, Surrey.

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