Join #TeamRaystede and take on the South Coast Challenge to help injured and unwanted animals in need!

We've teamed up with the Ultra Challenge Series to offer you the chance to take on some of England's finest scenery with a walk, jog, or a run!

Starting at Eastbourne, up Beachy Head, over the magnificent Seven Sisters and along the famous South Downs Way National Trail, with stunning views over the sea to a Brighton mid-point. Devil's Dyke, welcome rest stops and a few ups and downs all lie ahead before historic Arundel comes into view after an amazing 100km journey.

With 100km, 75km, 50km, and 25km challenge options available on 6th or 7th September, there's a challenge here for everyone, and you can join as an individual or as a team with friends, family or colleagues.

You may have to dig deep at times, you’ll meet new friends along the way, and the journey will be unforgettable! As you cross the finish line, you’ll get a big welcome from the cheer squad, a glass of fizz, t-shirt, and a medal to celebrate your special achievement for Raystede.
