Race to the King is a double marathon along the South Downs way and is part of the Threshold Trail Series - Threshold have been organising these events since 2013.

Starting in the Sussex town of Arundel the route takes you on the trails of the South Downs Way until you reach the finish at the majestic Winchester Cathedral.

The event is designed for experienced ultra runners through to beginners and walkers, and the entry choices reflect this.
You can do the whole 53 miles in a single day, or split it over 2 days  or you can choose to do a single day only (either day 1 or day 2). You also have the option to book into the fully set up overnight camp so you can travel light and not worry about finding mid way accomodation.


The event is fully supported, which means pre-race information, chip timing, bag transport to the finish and a fully signed route.
En route you have medical support, fully stocked and serviced pit stops (with loos) and you are provided with a map book to help you enjoy the route, views and landmarks, and a hot meal waits for you at the halfway camp!

The camp itself has hot showers, free massages and with your tent set up for you and an inflatable mat thrown in, you'll be set for the evening.

Next Event : 24th-25th June 2017
