Sussex Downs Trail Run
Plumpton, United Kingdom • 6 Dec 2025
Sussex Downs Trail Run
The Sussex Downs Trail Run takes place at Plumpton Racecourse in the South Downs National Park, Mid-Sussex. The course starts at the foot of the South Downs and moves from a flattish, tree-lined section into a sustained climb up to the South Downs Way. Runners pass views over the Sussex countryside, the Seven Sisters Country Park and sea vistas, complete a loop on sturdy trails toward Brighton, return to the South Downs Way, descend from the hilltop and finish with a flat final 3 km.
The event is listed for Saturday 6th December 2025 and No Dogs are allowed on site. The venue includes on-course first aid support and marshals. Course hazards and road junctions are marked with caution signs; the route is signed with pink arrows and pink tape. Participants collect bibs on arrival and water stations are provided; the event operates a plastic-free policy and asks runners to bring a reusable cup or bottle.
