The Maverick West Sussex Trail
Amberley, United Kingdom • 7 Feb 2026
Event overview
Maverick Original West Sussex is an off-road trail running event at Amberley Museum in Arundel, United Kingdom, taking place in February 2026. The event village is next to Amberley railway station, and free parking is available at the venue. Courses run on trails that include fire tracks, forest paths and farm tracks, and several sections use the South Downs Way. The organiser asks runners to carry a reusable cup or bottle because outposts will not provide pre-filled cups.
Routes and logistics
The event offers three distances:
- 22 km (Half Marathon) : +456 m elevation

The organiser requests runners finish within four hours. The event is dog friendly but dog places were sold out for this edition. The course is fully marked and the event includes timed results, event photography and a metal finisher medal. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
