Cowdray Winter Night Run

Cowdray Winter Night Run is a 5km or 10km trail race on the Cowdray Estate in West Sussex. The routes traverse parkland and along the River Rother, with some private estate tracks; the course is mostly flat with a couple of gentle climbs. Runners start at the Cowdray Ruins and finish at the Walled Garden / Cowdray Heritage Visitor Centre, where warming drinks and snacks await.

Head torches are mandatory, and the course is marked with reflective signage and glow sticks with support from Sussex Search & Rescue. A dog-friendly canicross option is available; the estate lies in an International Dark Sky Reserve, offering striking night skies. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
