South Coast Ultra Challenge

The South Downs National Park is a superb backdrop for 2000 adventurers to take on a real challenge, and you can take it on at your pace as a walk, jog, or run – and fundraise for your favourite charity! An Eastbourne start, up Beachy Head, the magnificent Seven Sisters, and along the South Downs Way, with stunning views over the sea, to a Brighton half-way. Devil’s Dyke, and a few ups and downs lie ahead before Arundel comes into view after an amazing 100 km journey. Sign up as an individual or as a team; you’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food and drink, optional camping and transfers, a special medal, T-shirt and celebration finish.

With half & quarter distance options also available – there’s a challenge for everyone! Push yourself further in 2026, take on an Ultra Challenge – the UK’s No.1 Series of treks & trail challenges!
