The SDW100 is a 100 mile continuous point to point trail race along the South Downs Way, from Matterley Bowl near Winchester, to Eastbourne. The race takes place over the weekend of June. Runners must reach the finish line in Eastbourne within 30 hours, in order to be recognised as an official finisher. There are further cut offs at every aid station on route.
Course and Trail Conditions
The race starts at Matterley Bowl, just east of Winchester and the M3. Runners will begin by making a loop of the estate before exiting directly onto the South Downs Way trail. Please do not under any circumstances try to recce the first 5 miles around Matterley Estate, it is entirely on private land.
The South Downs Way is a National Trail maintained by the National Trail Trust together with the various county councils and extends to Eastbourne, 100 miles east of Winchester. The South Downs have recently been classified as a national park and recognised as an area of outstanding beauty. The trail is open year round to the public, but the route travels along a mixture of private land and public byways. It is absolutely essential that runners respect the people and the land at all times on the course. Much of the South Downs is working farmland and runners will come across countless fields containing sheep and cattle on route. For that reason it is essential that all gates, must be closed properly
Course Route: The Run will be a point to point run of 100 miles.
Aid Stations
There will be a minimum of 12 official aid stations along the length of the course. The aid stations are well stocked with provisions suitable for all dietary requirements.
