About the South Coast Ultra Challenge

Take on some of England's finest scenery as a walk, jog, or a run. Starting in Eastbourne, you'll go up Beachy Head, over the Seven Sisters, and along the famous South Downs Way National Trail.

There are 100k, 50k and 25k options too. And you can take part as an individual or a team.
