About The Sussex Stride
The Sussex Stride is a 52-mile trail event across the South Downs National Park taking place over 23-24 August 2026. Starting and finishing at Plumpton College in Lewes, the course climbs 7,000 feet and must be completed within 23 hours. Participants can choose to walk, run or combine both disciplines as they navigate the route.
Six checkpoints mark the course, providing hot and cold drinks plus refreshments at each stop. A light meal is served mid-event and breakfast awaits finishers. The event is open to those aged 18 and over. Entrants receive a GPX file and route map ahead of the event, and must carry a mandatory route description and headtorch along with their own mug.
