Three Forts Challenge
Lancing, West Sussex
The Three Forts Challenge has run on the South Downs above Worthing since 1977 and is known locally as 'The Tough One'. It is based at Lancing Manor Leisure Centre and offers a marathon, a half marathon and a 5-mile trail run. The marathon links the Iron Age hill forts of Cissbury Ring, Chanctonbury Ring and Devil's Dyke. It is a community and charity event: profits go to Ferring Country Centre and other Sussex charities, marshalling is done by Worthing Rotary clubs and local running clubs, and Raynet covers communications. Expect steep chalk and flint paths, frequent aid stations, canicross runners welcome, zero-waste medals, and a strong preference that you carry your own bottle.
