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.
You'll have stunning views over the sea, and you'll reach Brighton at the midpoint of your challenge. You'll see Devil's Dyke, before Arundel comes into view at the end.
There are 100k, 50k and 25k options too. And you can take part as an individual or a team.
