About

The South Downs Trail Run, beginning at the Glorious Goodwood Estate and taking you deep into the heart of the South Downs National Park.

This ultimate trail run offers spectacular views across the rolling South Downs, with distant glimpses of the North Downs, Chichester Harbour, and even the Isle of Wight on a clear day.

The route is thoughtfully crafted to showcase the area's beauty, weaving through forest tracks, skirting the edge of Levin Down, and joining a stretch of the iconic South Downs Way. After a rewarding downhill into East Dean, there's one final climb before the triumphant finish back at Goodwood.

Expect a rich mix of forest fire roads, bridleways, and single-track trails, keeping every mile varied and engaging.

With three distances to choose from, this event has something for everyone, whether you're a dedicated runner looking to hit a new PB, building confidence on the trails, or simply wanting to enjoy the incredible surroundings. As you cross the finish line, you will receieve well-earned medal, a refreshing drink, and exciting finisher's goodies.
