Conquer and explore the South Downs National Park with this epic adventure. The South Downs 200 is 200 mile continuous trail event traversing the National Park from East to West and back again. The route is essentially a big loop on a variety of different trails mainly the Monarchs Way and South Downs Way. Entrants have 100 hours to complete the event whilst tackling rolling hills, forest trails, steep climbs and 22,000ft of elevation, This is a fully supported event with a marked route, 12 Aid Stations, 3 of which are sleep stations, and our amazing volunteers! This time of year will of course mean long daylight hours and hopefully warm sunny days. Crews and pacers are allowed and the event is open to both runners and walkers. It will be a UTMB Index race. As with all our events, it is beautiful but challenging!
Our permits are granted through ARC. Permit Number pending.
