- **Event Name**: Race The Sun South Downs
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 am (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Race the Sun pits teams of two or four against the clock in a Triathlon-style charity fundraising challenge competing in three disciplines, cycling, hiking and kayaking/canoeing, racing the setting sun to be crowned champions.

Tackle this BRAND NEW, incredible team race whilst taking in the stunning views of the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs.

This circular 31-mile bike route quickly hits the open rural roads, following the River Cuckmere inland before skirting round Arlington Reservoir then returning via winding lanes to Polegate, topped off with a dramatic descent to the Seven Sisters Country Park to make for an exhilarating ride to power up your Race The Sun experience.

Lace up your boots for a stunning 10-mile coastal adventure that begins at Seaford Head, which offers up an Instagram-worthy view of the iconic Seven Sisters cliffs stretching into the distance as far as Beachy Head, before the route winds inland along the river to the tranquil curves of Cuckmere Meanders. Here, the adventure shifts gears as boots are swapped for boats for the paddle phase of the challenge.

After your paddle, rejoin the trail to conquer a scenic stretch of the South Downs Way National Trail. This section might be short, but it’s big on wow-factor—think sweeping landscapes and a glimpse of the striking Litlington White Horse, before looping back to base in Seaford.

Your hike turns into an unforgettable waterside experience with a 2-mile paddle on the tranquil River Cuckmere. This section amps up the adventure and the teamwork as you navigate the course in stable sit-on-top kayaks. 

No experience? No problem. All gear is provided, and expert instructors are on hand to guide you every stroke of the way.

After completing all three challenges, it's time to kick back and chill out with teammates, friends, and family. Enjoy a bite to eat and a drink on us as you celebrate your achievement and relive the highlights of the day!
