Take in some of England’s finest scenery as you walk, jog or run! The event starts in Eastbourne then progresses up Beachy Head, over the magnificent Seven Sisters, and along the famous South Downs Way National Trail with stunning views over the sea. Take a breather at the Brighton mid-point, then encounter Devil’s Dyke: rest stops and several ups and downs all lie ahead before historic Arundel comes into view after an amazing 100km journey.

There are 50km Half Challenge and 25km Quarter Challenge options too – so make it your challenge, your way!

Your entry includes free food and drink at regular rest stops, plus support including medics, marshals and massage. As you cross the finish line, you’ll receive a glass of fizz, finisher’s t-shirt, and a medal to commemorate your achievement.

Ari, fundraising for Dementia UK

If I could do something to raise awareness and help other families then I was proud to of completed this challenge in 12 hours. It was a tough walk, but the pain was worth everything and I would do it again just to support more wonderful charities.
