Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Races routes
The Weald Challenge Trail Races follow the long distance paths of the Wealdway and the Vanguard Way.
As the two long distance paths travel through East Sussex, the two paths run parallel in a northwards direction, not too far apart, with the two paths meeting at three points; Chiddingly, Blackboys, and the Ashdown Forest. The Weald Challenge Trail Races therefore take advantage of these three meeting points, resulting in the perfect distances for the 50km Ultra Trail and the Trail Half Marathon. It was as if the Weald Challenge Trail Races were just 'meant to be'!
The start for both races is at Chiddingly. The half marathon route heads north along the Wealdway to the meeting point at Blackboys, then returns south along the Vanguard Way back to Chiddingly. The 50km ultra trail route heads north along the Wealdway, all the way into the spectacular Ashdown Forest to the third meeting point within the Ashdown Forest, then returns south along the Vanguard Way back to Chiddingly.
The race routes are approximately 75% (trail half marathon ) - 85% (50km ultra trail) off-road.

Did the 50 Km Ultra Trail in 2019
Logistics were perfect. Course and signage spot on. A great combination of speed and challenge. A friendly, well organised but low-key event.Did the 50 Km Ultra Trail in 2019
A low key race through the Weald of Sussex and the Ashdown Forest. Friendly atmosphere, great aid stations, a medal and a mug for finishers plus coffee and cake.Did the Trail Half Marathon in 2019
Beautifully scenic course, great organisation and genuinely friendly support crew.
Well positioned and stocked hydration stations, and lots of post race cakes. Loos deserve a special mention for being immaculately maintained!
