Spring ‘Run the Seasons’ Cowdray | 9:15am Saturday 5th April 2025

The Spring race will once again take in the best parts of the Estate as it burst back into life after winter with daffodils and tulips on this morning run at Cowdray. Runners will have the choice of taking on either a 5km, 10km, 10 miles or dog-friendly canicross course across the stunning grounds of Cowdray Estate and the South Downs National Park.  This is a testing run on a new route on the south side of the A272 around Ambersham Common, Heyshot and (for the 10mile run) a climb to the South Downs Way. Don’t underestimate this course, it’s still a significant challenge and ground conditions will make it a tough course and an excellent workout if you’re looking at the London Marathon or Worthing Half.

“Run the Seasons” Trail events are organised by Cowdray and Raw Running Ltd, giving runners an opportunity to explore the Cowdray Estate in West Sussex in each season.  Why not enter the 10km run series for a chance to be crowned male or female series winners and be presented with a luxury hamper from Cowdray Farm Shop & Café.  Overall winners will be decided on a points system based on their finishing position with their top three results counting towards the series 10km races.

• ‘The course was stunning. Easily the best trail race I’ve had the pleasure to run.  I’m already looking forward to the next one’. 
• ……….an absolutely amazing run this morning. I did the 10k canicross – my dog and I are relatively new to racing together but we had a brilliant time. All your staff and marshals were fabulous and friendly and it was such a great vibe
• what a friendly, welcoming and well organised event. It was a really enjoyable run.
