South Downs Trail

About this event

The South Downs Trail takes runners, walkers and their dogs through the rolling chalk hills of the South Downs National Park near Chichester. Three distances (12k, 16k, and 21k) each come in three formats: trail run, canicross, or walk, making this an unusually flexible event for different paces and preferences. Routes wind across Sussex countryside, where gentle climbs open up expansive views over the Downs. The 12k, with around 200 metres of elevation, suits those newer to trail running, while the 16k and 21k options stretch the legs over slightly longer ascents. The canicross categories are a particular draw for anyone who'd rather share the trails with a four-legged companion.
