It is conveniently located on the A3 south of Petersfield, Hampshire. This amazing early season trail run has it all, spectacular tree lined trails, magnificent views and sturdy trails which are a pleasure to run on.

The Epic and Standard routes head out of the park where you'll enjoy running through the ancient woodland at ‘Head Down’ before reaching the iconic South Downs Way.
