The Grand National Trail Run in Findon on 19 April 2026 is an off road charity event organised by Raw Energy Pursuits. Proceeds from the event support St John the Baptist Primary School at Findon. The event is part of Grand National weekend and uses the village and surrounding South Downs landscape.

The course follows the lane up to Cissbury Ring and continues towards the Steyning bostal in the South Downs National Park.
