About this event

Starting beneath Arundel's medieval castle, this 52-kilometre loop winds through some of the South Downs' most scenic terrain. The route crosses rolling chalk hills, passes through ancient woodlands like Houghton Forest and Eartham Wood, and skirts Angmering Park's expansive grounds. Runners follow a mix of grassy trails, farm tracks, and forest paths, with 923 metres of climbing spread throughout. The finish follows the River Arun back into town, offering a gentle cooldown after the hills. Set in early April, it works well as a season opener or preparation race for longer summer events. While the terrain is non-technical and the elevation moderate, the distance still demands solid ultra preparation.
