Winter's End South Downs Way 50 Mile Ultra & Marathons 2027

Winter's End takes runners point to point along the South Downs Way, offering 50 mile, 50K, and marathon distances, all concluding in Winchester. The courses commence near Arundel or Queen Elizabeth Country Park, varying with the chosen distance, and traverse the chalk ridge of the South Downs, providing a long trail run instead of a road race. The route winds through rolling hills, forests, and open paths, featuring extended ascents interspersed with flatter sections. The courses are clearly marked, aid stations and checkpoints are provisioned, and transportation to the starting points is arranged. This event is suitable for runners progressing to longer trail distances seeking support while maintaining the point-to-point character.
