A beautiful hilly, challenging trail run

It’s only a ‘maybe’ for beginners because the course is tough but it is a very friendly and welcoming run.

Absolutely love this event. It is tough but so very much worth it.

Seamless registration and I upgraded which was simple. Great marshaling. Cakes on aid stations. Lovely route and fantastic finish area. Thank you.

Bello il percorso ma non l‘attenzione ai podisti

Parlo della mezza maratona. La gara é stata bellissima, percorso segnalato, ristori con cibo e acqua molto ben organizzati.
Sono arrivata prima donna e non c’è stato neppure il nastro di arrivo! Nessuna premiazione, insomma una delusione per me. Dopo 21km di fatica neppure un podio dove festeggiare il primo posto. Spero davvero di ricevere un bel premio e anche (in aggiunta al premio) l‘iscrizione gratuita per l anno prossimo. Sperando che l‘anno prossimo siano premiati sul palco almeno i primi 3 uomini e le prime 3 donne assolute.

Great run and scenery is glorious

Parking was on the street and not organised. Everything else- food stations were well stocked and variety of snacks. No TShirts given at the end when we were told there were.

Stunning, scenic and a great event

Such a well organised event, brilliantly marshalled and a fantastic route that shows off a beautiful part of the country. The South Downs really do take some beating! It's a tough course for sure but I loved it

I did it for the views and I wasn’t disappointed!

My first time doing the half. What a fabulous race - great views, lovely marshalls, a friendly bag drop and cake at the end, what more could I want? Some confusion over parking at the start, but apart from that all good. Highly recommended.

Good run, good scenery

Definitely a good run over the Downs. Starting feel a little ripped off by the cheap, crappy, balsawood 'medals' these days. Pretty much all events are jumping on the bandwagon now, issuing them, citing 'sustainability', where in reality, they're just cheaper. Personally, I don't want a buff, a t-shirt, a water bottle, or a protein ball (!), I'd rather have a decent (metal!) medal showing my achievement!

Tough race but great fun with amazing volunteers

I’ve run this 4 times now (2 full / 2 half). It’s pretty challenging (ouch that first hill, Humm and the others!) but left me with memories for life. Thanks loads to the cake bakers and marshals. Probably the best aid stations / food in any run I’ve ever done. I’ll be back for a hat trick of fulls soon!

Friendly, well organised

There were a couple of points on the 5 mile route that were not marshalled or signed. Tricky at junctions.
