Welcome to the UK Ultra Springtide 50k. A single loop Spring run, starting and finishing in the beautiful, Historic Town of Arundel, West Sussex. This is a very runnable, non-technical route through the South Downs and is a perfect early season ultra for both beginners, seasoned runners, and anyone with plans of taking part in longer races later in the year. The views of the Downs are stunning with rolling hills, grass trails, farm tracks and forest paths making up the route. Starting by Arundel Castle, runners will head up to the Downs before heading through Houghton Forest and Eartham Wood. The route will then loop back towards Findon, through the stunning Angmering Park and Wepham Woods before finishing along the River Arun back to the castle. A great route! There is just over 3000ft of elevation and as with all our races, it is fully marked for easy navigation. It is a UTMB Index race and worth 2 ITRA points. This race will also form part of the new South Downs 50K Triple Crown if you wish to enter. South Downs Triple Crown 50k. Permit: Our permits are granted through the ARC. Permit number:ARC/26/0230

winter 100 miles

This is a single loop event around the trails of East Sussex and West Sussex. Starting and finishing at Plumpton Racecourse the views are spectacular, and the course is a combination of grass trails, farm tracks and woodland/chalk paths. There is 13,000 ft of elevation to navigate, but the route is generally very runnable and best described as rolling hills with some longer, steeper climbs also. The weather at this time of year can be unpredictable with anything from glorious crisp sunny days to strong winds, rain, sleet, thick fog, freezing conditions and snow. East Sussex in particular, and the eastern side of the South Downs, lends itself to being ideal for a race at this time of year with it having probably the driest climate in the U.K. The terrain has fantastic drainage meaning although some places can and will become wet and muddy, it is generally speaking, very runnable all year round. This race will also form part of the new South Downs Triple Crown challenge if you wish to enter. Triple Crown Permit: Our permits are granted through the ARC. Permit Number pending
