Winter Downs 200
The Winter Downs 200 is a 200 mile continuous trail run taking place 9 to 13 December 2026 around the South of England. The event starts and finishes at Juniper Hall in Dorking near Box Hill.
The route forms a large loop and uses established long distance trails. Runners follow the North Downs Way east for 18 miles to its junction with the Vanguard Way, then proceed south on the Vanguard Way for 45 miles to Alfriston. From there the course runs almost 80 miles west along the South Downs Way to Exton, then turns north east via the Wayfarers Walk and St Swithuns Way for 32 miles to Farnham to rejoin the North Downs Way. The final 25 miles complete the loop back on the North Downs Way to Box Hill and Juniper Hall.
Runners have up to 96 hours to complete the course. Live tracking is provided across the entire event. Crews and a drop bag are permitted at three major aid stations where hot food and sleeping facilities will be available, but the clock continues to run as this is a single stage race. The event takes place in winter conditions with long hours of darkness each day, long stretches between aid stations and undulating terrain.
The race is held under a UK Athletics permit granted through the TRA. The permit number is to be confirmed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
