Our Maverick Adidas Terrex Original West Sussex event remains one of our most popular events amongst our Maverick Runners so, for 2021, we bring it back to you all for yet another year. With the event village set in the Amberley Museum next door to Amberley Railway station, runners can be collecting their race numbers in less than 120 minutes after departing from London. With its easy accessibility, it is little wonder that our West Sussex event is so popular amongst our Mavericks.
However, links to London certainly aren’t West Sussex’s only draw. All three routes weave through the rolling hills, tranquil valleys and bustling hamlets of the quintessentially English South Downs. With all three routes spending time on the iconic South Downs Way.
Whether you are a seasoned Trail Runner or a complete novice, the West Sussex event is suitable yet challenging for all levels of experience. The trails vary from fire trails, forest paths and farm tracks with hills and technical sections thrown in for good measure.
With the West Sussex short route being our hilliest short distance original event, sitting at over 300m of ascent in just over 8km and the middle and long routes being some of our toughest original routes, you can guarantee that signing up to run with us in West Sussex is sure to earn you some serious Kudos.
