Organiser's description
This ultimate hiking experience takes place in the South Downs National Park, offering spectacular views across the South Downs, as well as distant vistas of the North Downs, Chichester Harbour, and the Isle of Wight.
The quiet, scenic routes and stunning natural surroundings will overload your senses, making it one of the South's must-do hiking adventures.
This well-crafted off-road route will guide you from Goodwood along forest tracks, skirting Levin Down.
The middle section of the route takes you along the iconic South Downs Way before the rewarding downhill hike back toward East Dean.
From here, there is one final push up the hill to the finish at Goodwood.
The trails include a mixture of forest fire roads, bridleways, and single-track, tree-lined paths to keep you motivated and engaged throughout your journey.
With three route distances to choose from, there is a distance to cater to all abilities.
At the finish line, you will receive a well-deserved high-quality metal medal, finisher's gift, and a refreshing drink to help you celebrate your accomplishment!
Also, why not treat yourself to something from our Merch tent after your memorable hike? We have plenty of products to choose from.
