South Downs

The South Downs 50k is a point-to-point trail race held in the South Downs National Park, running from Falmer to Eastbourne. Covering 50 kilometers, the course features over 3,500 feet of elevation gain and descent along mostly runnable grass trails, farm tracks, and forest paths. The route culminates with a scenic finish over the iconic white cliffs of Beachy Head.
