Queen Elizabeth Country Park Trail Run

Part of the UK Running Events Trail Run Series

Runners head out of the park through ancient woodland at Head Down before reaching the iconic South Downs Way. From here, both routes loop back via this famous trail. Back in the park, all three routes combine to explore War Down, featuring tree-lined gravel tracks that allow your mind to wander as your legs clock up the kilometres.

This trail run offers a unique opportunity to experience multiple terrains, stunning views, and a true sense of connection with nature, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a scenic UK trail running adventure.
