It is a nice flat route. Runners head north from the Toll Bridge along the Downs Link, cross the South Downs Way Bridge and continue towards Bramber, then turn around and follow the same path back to Shoreham.
Every finisher receives a Darklink medal at the finish at the Toll Bridge.
Attached entry costs £23.00 and unattached entry costs £25.00. The lower attached price applies to runners who are members of a club affiliated to the relevant national governing body, while unattached entry is for everyone else.
Entries are handled online and close on 22 December 2026, a week before the race, so you should enter in advance rather than turning up on the night. If entries have not filled, the organiser may be able to advise on late places through Sussex Trail Events.
