Organiser's Description
Funds raised will go to South Downs Conservation and the Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust. The area is home to a wealth of British flora and fauna, including our event's namesake, the adder – the UK's only native venomous snake, found across parts of the South Downs around Lewes and East Sussex. Adders inhabit chalk grassland, scrub and sunny south-facing slopes, making the Downs an important habitat for the species.
Extremely rare and famously shy: don't worry, the only adders you're likely to see will be on our merch.
Near Lewes, around a site that used to be an old race track – now home to our cafe and sauna.
Once you've purchased your entry we'll follow up with add-ons including finish-line sauna entry and event merch, plus everything you need to know about getting to the location and what to expect on the day.
