The Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon follows the long distance paths of the Wealdway and the Vanguard Way.  The race starts and finishes in the village of Chiddingly and encompasses the surrounding beauty of the Sussex countryside en route.  The course is approximately 75% off-road, and as the runners travel along the picturesque and undulating routes, they will take in a great variety of landscapes containing rolling hills, irregular shaped fields and ancient woodlands.

The Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon caters for all levels of runner, whether a novice to trail running, or an experienced trail runner.  The race provides a great opportunity for those runners that may have run a spring road half marathon, to again challenge themselves by running the half marathon distance but now on the trails, and thereby getting to experience the joy of trail running, for perhaps the first time.
