South Coast Ultra Challenge 2026

The South Coast Ultra Challenge invites you to walk, jog or run a distance of your choice in aid of our hospice.

Starting in Eastbourne up Beachy Head, you'll go across the magnificent Seven Sisters and along the famous South Downs Way National Trail, enjoying stunning views over the sea to the mid-point in Brighton. Devil's Dyke, welcome rest stops, and a few ups and downs, all lie ahead before historic Arundel comes into view after an amazing journey. You may have to dig deep at times, but you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable!

Most importantly you'll raise vital funds so we can continue caring for families who need us.

With 50km, 25km and 10km challenge options also available - there's a challenge for everyone. And you can join as an individual or as a team!

• Registration fee from just £10 (depending on distance)
• Choice of from 25km, 50km, and 100km distances
• Fully signed route with "Trekmasters" out on the trail with you
• Indoor rest stops with free hot food and drink, massages and medics
• An epic finish line moment, with a glass of fizz, medal and t-shirt
• Camping, transfer and parking options to make travel to and from the event super easy
