The South Downs Way is a 100 mile long National Trail in the South East of England, it travels along chalk
paths high up on the Downs,down to river crossings, and through small villages.

  I ran my first race on the Downs two years ago, and since then have run
many ultra  marathons  over beautiful trails elsewhere in the country.

  My ambition was to run an ultra marathon over the full length of the South Downs Way.
But no such race existed

So I decided to organise my own...
