The Trail Trot offers a choice of 50K ultra, marathon, 10K and 5K routes through the South Downs National Park. Starting from the grounds of Lancing College, the mixed terrain courses follow scenic trails, chalk paths, bridleways and countryside footpaths, with longer distances passing landmarks including Cissbury Ring, Chanctonbury Ring and Steyning.
Organised by UK Training Club, the event features fully marked routes, chip timing, marshalled courses and well stocked aid stations. The 5K and 10K head towards the panoramic viewpoints of Lancing Ring, while the marathon and 50K continue deeper into the South Downs on more challenging routes.
The Trail Trot offers something for every level of trail runner, from those discovering off road racing for the first time to experienced endurance athletes tackling the 50K, with varied mixed terrain and the distinctive landscapes of the South Downs throughout.
