Sussex Downs Trail Run

Sussex Downs Trail Run takes place at Plumpton Racecourse in the South Downs National Park, Mid-Sussex, with easy access from Brighton, Haywards Heath, and Lewes. The event offers three distances: 22km, 12km, and 9km. The course starts with a flat 3.5km tree-lined warm-up, then climbs to the South Downs Way, rewarding runners with views over the Sussex countryside, Seven Sisters Country Park, and far-reaching sea vistas.

Runners complete a scenic loop toward Brighton before returning to the South Downs Way and finishing with a flat final 3km. Highlights include chip timing, medals and finisher gifts, water stations, a RunRebel merch tent, and a welcoming atmosphere for spectators.
