BigHeat "CAMP-FIRE"

About this event

BigHeat brings trail runners to the South Downs for a midsummer challenge that lives up to its name. Part of the Classic Element Trail Series, this event offers four distances ranging from a 12km introduction to a 50km ultra, all following single-loop courses through varied terrain. Routes explore the Serpent Trail, climb through the Blackdown Hills, and pass the Temple of the Winds viewpoint before finishing beside the River Rother in Midhurst. The terrain mixes dusty ridgelines with shaded forest sections, though exposed stretches mean runners should prepare for the heat. With distances suitable for different experience levels and a lively event village atmosphere, it's a proper test of summer endurance in one of southern England's classic running landscapes.
