South Downs & Arundel Winter Trails

The South Downs & Arundel Winter Trails is a scenic mixed terrain running event featuring 15-mile and marathon distances. The point-to-point course follows the historic Pilgrim Trail, "The Old Way," from Mayflower Park in Southampton to finishes at Titchfield Abbey (15 miles) and Boundary Oak School near Wickham (marathon). Unique highlights include a river crossing by boat at Hamble River and passing landmarks like Netley Castle and Titchfield Abbey, where runners collect collectible stickers.

The event offers well-marked routes, aid stations, medical support, and a lively atmosphere with enthusiastic volunteers. Participants can opt to plant a tree instead of receiving a medal, supporting environmental causes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
