Every finisher receives a themed medal, free race photographs and post race goodies, while the welcoming event village provides food, refreshments and a relaxed atmosphere before and after the race. Combining challenging terrain, rewarding climbs and outstanding scenery, the South Downs Trail has become a popular fixture for runners looking to experience one of England's finest national parks.
