Event overview
An Eastbourne start, up Beachy Head, the magnificent Seven Sisters, and along the South Downs Way, with stunning views over the sea, to a Brighton half-way. Devil’s Dyke, and a few ups & downs lie ahead before historic Arundel comes into view after an amazing 100 km journey. You’ll get full support & hospitality all the way – and with half & quarter distance options available – there’s a South Coast Ultra Challenge for everyone!
The Ultra Challenge Experience
This challenge is part of the UK's number one series of trek and trails runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels.
Choose your challenge and do it at your pace. The level of support enables you to go further, whilst enjoying the great outdoors, camaraderie, and the challenge. There are marquee rest stops, lots of food and drink, medical and massage teams, with a fully signed route to guide you.
A big finish-line celebration awaits with an amazing sense of achievement and once the aches subside you’ll feel energised, up for more of life’s real challenges – and, maybe, personal horizons redefined.

Get charity placeThank you again for such a well organised event - my second 100K! However tough the Challenge, I always appreciated the support and facilities you provide and special thanks to all the volunteers for their kindness and encouragement.
A very special thank you the teams behind the organisation, the volunteers on the day, the first aid crew and the massage therapists. I finally made it into Arundel and I could not have done it without the support at each rest stop.
