South Downs Trail

The South Downs Trail is a trail running event held within the Stansted Estate, near Portsmouth. Participants can choose from 10k, 15k, or half marathon distances. Runners will spend the day on estate paths, crossing woodland, open countryside, and the grounds surrounding the historic house. The course winds through forest sections, opens into wide fields, and passes below Stansted House, with the estate itself contributing to the event's appeal. It is suitable for newer trail runners seeking a manageable off-road race, as well as experienced runners opting for the longer distances. All finishers receive a medal, a drink, and goodies at the finish line.
