What you’re in for
A new night race opening the 2027 Element Trail Series. It starts at Queen Elizabeth Country Park and heads east along the South Downs Way in the dark, turns at an aid point the organiser calls a Life Base, and returns to the park. There are four distances: 12 miles, 18 miles, marathon and 50km. The 50km and marathon start at 17:00 and the 12 and 18 mile at 17:20, so most of the running is by headtorch on chalk downland. Cut-offs range from 3.5 hours (12 miles) to 8.5 hours (50km). Aid points are listed by mileage on the event page. There is a bag drop at the event base.
