Course Details

A seaside start on Saturday morning, you’ll Walk, Jog, or Run 100 km along the coastal path, over the South Downs Way through day & night (for some) on this 24+ hour challenge all the way to Arundel. Or perhaps take on either ‘Half’ ~57 km (1st ) or 43 km (2nd) Challenge and start or finish at Brighton – alternatively, there’s a 25 km Quarter option from Eastbourne over the famous Seven Sisters. The full route goes through stunning scenery, with a Brighton half way point, and the undulating path will test you – but will be incredibly rewarding.
