South Downs Marathon 2023
The South Downs Marathon is fast becoming one of the most popular events on the European trail running calendar and given the scenery on offer, it’s easy to see why! Not only is the route one of the most beautiful given it takes runners through the heart of the South Downs National Park, but it is also one of the most challenging.

The Route
The race crosses the South Downs National Park, providing a challenging yet scenic route. The race starts and finishes at St Bede’s School in Eastbourne. Leaving Eastbourne, the course makes its way past Willingdon Hill, through Westdean Forest and past Longman Windover and Bostal Hills. After Cradle Hill, the route takes runners back to Westdean Forest to intersect with Beachy Head Road.

Run 4 Cancer - About Us
Set up by a team of running enthusiasts, all of whom have lost a family member or a friend to cancer, Run 4 Cancer is primarily a provider of days out and short-breaks for British families affected by cancer. We give families something to look forward to during the most difficult of times. We also make grants to UK based care institutions and support research into the positive effects of exercise (e.g. running) and how it can help with cancer prevention and recovery.
