What you’re in for

A flat coastal run on West Wittering beach at the mouth of Chichester Harbour, using the wide sand flats exposed at low tide. Views take in Selsey Bill, the Isle of Wight, the Solent and the South Downs behind. Total climb is tiny, 25m on the longest route. There are three distances, 15.3k, 10k and 5k, with staggered starts from 8:00. Canicross runners go five minutes after each wave. Parking is through the West Wittering Estate and is booked separately. Expect soft sand in places and wind off the sea; bring a reusable cup as aid stations are cupless.
