The Lewes 10-mile and 5-mile Downland Trail Runs 2026
Sunday, 4 October 2026, 10:30
The Downland Trail Runs take in some of the beautiful, picturesque trails around Blackcap and Mount Harry on the undulating South Downs in Lewes. The route is entirely off-road on a variety of terrain with chalk tracks, grassland, and woodland paths.
The 10 mile Downland Trail race is part of the Sussex Grand Prix and measured to 10.0 miles by GPS. Awards for top runners in each male and female age category.
The 5-mile race measures 4.75 miles with some hills - but they're not too steep! Awards for the top male and female runners.
Sight impaired runners are welcome with the use of a guide. Runners with a mobility impairment are advised to make their own judgement based on the course descriptions. Unfortunately, the course is unsuitable for wheelchairs due to the narrow and uneven paths. No dogs please because of grazing animals.
Online entry available until 12:00 on 2/10/26. After this entries can be made on the day at £34 for the 10 mile and £25 for the 5 Mile.
