South Coast Ultra Challenge®
The South Downs National Park is a superb backdrop for 2000 adventurers to take on a real challenge, and you can take it on at your pace as a walk, jog or run. 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 Arundel comes into view after an amazing 100km journey.
You’ll get full support all the way, plenty of food & drink, optional camping & transfers, a special medal, T-shirt and celebration finish. With half & quarter distance options also available, there’s a challenge for everyone!

Wooden Spoon works with some event suppliers to provide a platform for our members and supporters to fundraise for the charity. There is a cost to the charity to administer these events and therefore we have set minimum fundraising levels which we view as achievable based on previous participants. It is at Wooden Spoon’s discretion whether to allow the participants to take part or not for the charity, if fundraising levels are not met. Thanks for your understanding.
