The Maverick Adidas Terrex X Series South Downs 2024

Saturday 5 October 2024 | Queen Elizabeth Country Park

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 Queen Elizabeth Country Park , you’ll be running straight out into this wooden wonderland . The route picks up the infamous South Downs Way, with runners on the Long & Ultra route enjoying a 15km stretch on undulating chalky trails.. All four routes pack a punch with some short sharp climbs that get the legs and lungs burning. The Ultra route will take you through Harting Downs and West Dean Woods,.

This is a beautiful route that crisscrosses the Hampshire & 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.

The car park is a 15-20min walk to the start/finish area. Please factor this in when planning your arrival time.

We look forward to seeing you all in October!
