Spring 'Run the Seasons' Cowdray
The Spring 'Run the Seasons' event at Cowdray takes place on the Cowdray Estate in West Sussex. The course explores the South Downs National Park and includes terrain within Ambersham and Heyshott Commons. These areas are designated sites of Special Scientific Interest and Grade 2 Nature Conservation sites, consisting primarily of heathland habitat.
Participants can choose from several distance options, including trail runs and specific Canicross (CaniRun) categories for those running with dogs. The terrain features a variety of surfaces, including firm paths, wet sections, and unique sandy areas. While the 10 mile and 10 km routes head out to the commons, the 5 km distance follows a river-based route.
The event offers the following distances:
- 10 mile (available for solo runners or CaniRun)
- 10 km (available for solo runners or CaniRun)
- 5 km (available for solo runners, Junior runners aged 12-15, or CaniRun)
- 3 km Kids Run (open to ages 6-11)
Race headquarters and parking are located at the Cowdray Farm Shop & Cafe in Midhurst. For those participating in the CaniRun categories, dogs must be kept on a harness at all times. This event is part of a seasonal series held at the estate, with a points system in place for the 10 km distance to determine series winners across the year.
