Starting out at Christs Hospital School in Horsham, this scenic route eases participants into the run with a fairly flat, slightly downhill first half following the Downs Link. Around 25k things take an uphill turn onto the South Downs, past Devil's Dyke, Saddlescombe Farm and Newtimber Hill. On the final leg, runners will trade the rolling countryside views for Brighton's artsy streets and an epic seafront finish.
