RunThrough Trails South Downs : 1 August 2027
RunThrough Trails South Downs takes place at Queen Elizabeth Country Park in the South Downs National Park and supports Brain Research UK. The event offers three measured trail distances:
- 12K
- 25K
- 50K
Routes run across rolling hills, ancient woodland and open chalk downland, with sections of the South Downs Way. The course includes grassy tracks, woodland paths, climbs that open to wide views across Hampshire and Sussex, and fast-flowing descents.
All routes are waymarked using trail flags and tags, A5 arrows and signage. Organisers provide a GPX file for navigation and course correction. Regular aid stations are available along every route and list provisions such as water, electrolyte drink, fruit, crisps, sweets and brownies. Results are chip timed and finish-line photos are provided free of charge. Entries include a unique themed medal, post-race goodies and a bag drop.
Practical details include on-site event parking, race pack collection from the event village on the day (bring booking confirmation and photo ID), and secure baggage storage. The 50K has an 11 hour cut-off. Minimum ages are 17 for 12K, 18 for 25K and 20 for 50K. The course is not pram or wheelchair friendly. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
