About this race
Plumpton Racecourse in Lewes anchors this demanding ultra, a "Dusk till Dawn loop" through the rugged expanse of the South Downs. This event tests ultra runners, inviting them to conquer the terrain as night descends and stars emerge.
The course challenges participants to run the Dark Downs under the stars, navigating the South Downs terrain through the night. As a UTMB Index Race, earning 2 ITRA points, it attracts experienced ultra runners seeking a significant nocturnal challenge. The tradition of completing this loop entirely in darkness defines the experience.
