The Housedean Half and 10K

The Housedean Half and 10K returns in 2026 as a running event based at Housedean Farm Campsite on Brighton Road in Lewes, East Sussex. The event sits in the South Downs and is part of the South Coast Series. The route begins at the working farm and includes a gentle ascent onto the South Downs with views across Lewes, Plumpton and surrounding countryside. The event is officially classed as a trail race and suits runners who want a mix of trail and road-style surfaces.

Expect a combination of gravel paths and well-kept trails that run through farmland and footpaths. The organiser notes the course has a similar feel to the Beachy Head Half but is described as slightly less demanding. A GPX file for the course will be available to download from the course routes section.
