The Maverick Adidas Terrex X Series South Downs 2023

Saturday 30 September 2023 | Goodwood Race Course

This event has sold out. On the day entries will NOT be accepted.

We head to the South Downs for another fun-packed Ultra event in our X Series.

Whilst the routes are aimed at all levels of runners the emphasis is on taking you Mavericks to your first / fastest / funnest Ultra.

With all four routes starting at Goodwood Racecourse, you’ll be running straight out of the Racecourse onto trails that weave through East Dean and Chiseldown. All four routes pack a punch with some short sharp climbs that get the legs and lungs burning. The Ultra route will take you thruogh Houghton Forest and up and over Glatting Beacon, as well as Upwaltham and Bignor Hill, meaning you’ll clock up over 1000m of vertical ascent. Please note, there is no outpost on the Short route.

This is a beautiful route that crisscrosses the East and West Sussex border with woodlands, farm trails and ridgeways to run along. If you haven’t run your first ultra yet... then join us for this one. You won’t regret it.

Bring the families, support crews and cheer squad and relax and enjoy the Maverick event village. Make sure you take the opportunity to test some of the great kit from our headline partners Adidas TERREX.

We look forward to seeing you all in September!
