Maverick Adidas Terrex X-Series South Downs 2022
Maverick Adidas Terrex X-Series South Downs 2022
Saturday 29 October 2022 | Slindon College
The Maverick family is bringing to you this new iconic series that offers you the challenge of running further without the logistics and stress and travelling for hours.
We head to the South Downs for the final event of 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 50km.
With all four routes starting in Slindon Woods, you’ll be running straight out of the college on to trails that weave through the Slindon Estate. All four routes pack a punch with some short sharp climbs that get the legs and lungs burning. The 50km route will take you up and over Glatting Beacon and Sutton Down as well as Upwaltham and Bignor Hill, meaning you’ll clock up over 1000m of vertical ascent.
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 October.
