A 10 mile long multi-terrain race over private tarmac lanes, hard gravel tracks and some paths.  The route runs up to the top of the Downs, gently down towards Compton, along towards Chalton, up to Ditcham Park School, along part of the South Downs Way and back down to South Harting to finish on the sports field.  There are many superb views around the course.

Medals are awarded to all finishers, with trophies/cash prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female, and 1st male and female in age categories V40, V50, V60 and V70.  In addition, every finisher will be entered to win one of two pairs of Hoka trainers from our event sponsor.

There is a kids race for children aged 4 – 14 utilising a loop of approximately 400 meters around the sports ground.  Children can choose to run from 1 – 5 laps of the course and all children will receive a medal on completion, regardless of the distance they chose to run.
