Route information
New for 2023 the Chidham Trail Run has expanded to include a new 1/2 Marathon route.
This amazing trail route around Chidham Peninsular and surrounding harbour-side paths will take in the most spectacular views of Chichester Harbour (Area of outstanding natural beauty); including long reaching views over Bosham Hoe, Itchenor, East Head and the surrounding South Downs.
The quiet scenic routes will overload your senses with constant coastal vistas and wildlife, making it one of the South’s best kept secret trail runs. This well crafted off-road route will guide you around the perimeter of the Chidham Peninsular and an additional loop around the top of the harbour.
The route is run at low tide as it includes a small section of the foreshore giving a unique running experience. The flat nature of the course makes for a perfect early-season run. With two route distances (21.3km/15km) to choose from, there is a distance to cater for all abilities.

Beautiful course but a few bottle necks near the start that meant that everyone was completely stopped. Also the car parking/road issues need improved because I saw a lot of touches between cars on the way out! But a gorgeous race otherwise.

Hard course, would of liked mile markers , Marshalls were lovely, huge thank you to the Marshalls who got me a bottle of water. The part where the 3 run choices meet got a bit squished for us at the back.Brilliant goodies at the end with medal.

The post event package was great, the run was well organised and there were good facilities. The route had a couple of pinch points which slowed things down and the early start for the dog run often meant we were having to yield position unexpectedly. But a really enjoyable, varied and fun course.

Too many different races at the same time, means there were too many clusters of people

I ordered a T-shirt and I was at least expecting a themed event shirt rather than just a standard running events shirt 😢

It was a really enjoyable and varied course, although running against the wind and on the beach was hard. Organisation was great and everyone was in good spirits. Marshals at splits would have been useful and one or two distance markers as these weren’t on map. Thanks for putting it on and the enormous eco friendly medal!
