A seaside start on Saturday morning, you’ll Walk, Jog, or Run 100 km along the coastal path, over the South Downs Way through day & night (for some) on this 24+ hour challenge all the way to Arundel. Or perhaps take on either ‘Half’ ~57 km (1st ) or 43 km (2nd) Challenge and start or finish at Brighton – alternatively, there’s a 25 km Quarter option from Eastbourne over the famous Seven Sisters. The full route goes through stunning scenery, with a Brighton half way point, and the undulating path will test you – but will be incredibly rewarding.
Starting from sunny Eastbourne, over the magnificent Seven Sisters, onto Cuckmere Haven, and over the South Downs all the way to historic Arundel with view of its castle. This is a tough route with almost ~2,100m of climbing across the full 100km – but you will be rewarded with incredible views as you reach the top of these climbs.

Many who run & jog can crack the 24 hr/100km target. However, an ‘Ultra March’ is about WALKING at a brisk & consistent pace with like minded challengers to achieve it – a bit like a march! – but taking in the great rest stops & services of the South Coast Ultra Challenge!
