CHICHESTER HARBOUR HIKING TRAIL

Sat 28th February 2026

People jogging along a coastal path under a clear blue sky. A person in a yellow vest gestures with a megaphone. A man holding a dog's leash is in the foreground. Other runners are ahead, with some vegetation and sparse clouds in the background. A signpost stands near a serene lakeside path under a clear blue sky with the sun shining brightly. The lake reflects the sunlight, and a small caution sign is visible on the grassy shore. Old, decaying wooden beams covered in green algae protrude from a flat, rocky shoreline under a cloudy sky. The beams, arranged in a line, extend towards the calm sea in the background. A person wearing a white shirt and black cap is jogging along a grassy path next to a body of water and marshland under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Organiser's Description

The Chidham Peninsula Hiking Event takes you on an amazing journey around the Chidham Peninsula and the surrounding harbour-side paths, offering spectacular views of Chichester Harbour (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). You'll enjoy long-reaching vistas over Bosham Hoe, Itchenor, East Head, and the surrounding South Downs.

The quiet, scenic routes will overload your senses with constant coastal vistas and wildlife, making this one of the South's best-kept secret hiking routes. This well-crafted off-road path will guide you around the perimeter of the Chidham Peninsula, with an additional loop around the top of the harbour.

The route is timed to coincide with low tide, as it includes a small section of the foreshore, providing a unique hiking experience. The flat nature of the course makes it perfect for an early-season hike.

Regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new participants to our events, and there are two route distances to choose from.

At the finish line, you will receive a well-deserved high-quality metal medal, finisher's gift, and a refreshing drink to celebrate your achievement!

Also, why not treat yourself to something from our Merch tent after your memorable hike? We have plenty of products to choose from.

Good event and lovely views. Well sign posted and easy to follow and the event staff were friendly and helpful. Only negative was that the runners set off after the hikers and there was an awkward section where we were in each other's way for a bit.
