The Maverick East Sussex Trail

Sat 11th April 2026

A large group of people are running across a grassy field toward a wooded area, with some runners in the foreground and many more further ahead under a clear sky. Four men are running together on a grassy field with trees and hills in the background, under a partly cloudy sky. They are dressed in athletic clothing and appear to be participating in an outdoor run or race. A group of runners, mostly women, jog along a wooded trail, smiling and wearing race bibs and hydration packs, surrounded by green trees and dappled sunlight. Two men in athletic gear run on a dirt trail through a green, wooded area. Both are wearing race bibs, and appear focused and determined. A third runner is visible in the background. A runner celebrates with arms raised while crossing the finish line at an outdoor race event, with cheering spectators, banners, and a black inflatable arch reading "Maverick" in the background.

The Maverick East Sussex Trail 2026

SATURDAY 11 APRIL 2026
STANMER PARK

Our ethos at Maverick Race is to ensure we show all our runners the best of the UK through trail running. The Maverick East Sussex Trail Run is absolutely no exception as we all five routes will take you on an adventure through this beautiful part of our little island.

Our routes take in the famous South Downs Way, which inevitably means; rolling hills and undulating trails. The routes take in the Ditchling Beacon which is the third-highest point on the South Downs National park meaning you will be treated to stunning views all the way to London in the north and the coast to your south.

The trails on all three routes consist of; woodland walkways, chalky tracks, and farmland paths. All three routes are suitable for all levels of trail runner and the Maverick Original East Sussex is a super event for people looking to transition from road running into trail running.

Our East Sussex event is less than a 1-hour drive or train journey from the City of London, so there is little excuse not to come and explore! Follow this link to view the Green Brighton Map, which features places to eat & sleep; www.greentraveller.co.uk/green-brighton.
