Cowdray Winter Night Run

The Cowdray Winter Night Run, part of the Cowdray ‘Run The Seasons’ series, is a unique night-time trail running event held at Cowdray Park near Midhurst. Offering 5km and 10km distances, plus a dog-friendly canicross option, the course winds through the park, around the River Rother, and across the famous polo lawns to the illuminated Cowdray Ruins before returning to the Walled Garden and Heritage Visitor Centre. The mostly flat route features bridleways, footpaths, and private estate tracks, requiring mandatory head torches for safety.

After the run, participants enjoy warming drinks, soup, and snacks in a festive atmosphere under the dark skies of the South Downs National Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
