Winter Downs 200

The Winter Downs 200 is a challenging 200-mile continuous trail running event held in South East England, starting and finishing at Juniper Hall, Dorking. Scheduled for December 10-14, 2025, runners navigate a giant loop incorporating five major trails: North Downs Way, Vanguard Way, South Downs Way, Wayfarers Walk, and St Swithuns Way. Participants have up to 96 hours to complete the course, which features 16 hours of darkness daily, undulating terrain, and long distances between aid stations.

The race offers three major aid stations with hot food, sleeping facilities, and drop bag access, but it is a single-stage event with no pacers allowed. The course is mostly trail (80%) with some road sections (20%) and requires mandatory winter gear for safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
