Three Forts Challenge

The Three Forts Challenge takes place on 2 May 2027 at Lancing Manor Leisure Centre, Manor Road, Lancing, West Sussex, BN15 0PH.

The event offers multiple race options:

  • Marathon
  • Half Marathon
  • 5 Mile Trail Run

Entry prices range from £20 to £53. Published prices include Marathon from £49 rising to £53, Half Marathon from £39 rising to £43, and the 5 Mile Trail Run at £20.

The route runs across the South Downs and is described by participants as hilly with sections of chalk, flint and gravel underfoot. Participants report regularly placed aid stations that provide water and snacks, and note that marshals staff the course. Some reviews mention cakes at aid stations and at the finish, and that at least one distance has been run with dogs. Several participants comment on cut-off times for longer distances and on occasional shortfalls in signage and parking at the venue. Feedback also highlights clear organisation in many areas and a largely friendly atmosphere created by volunteers and marshals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
