Race to the King Postponed Until 2021

Make your own history by taking on the 53-mile route finishing at the awe-inspiring Winchester Cathedral

Are you ready to conquer the King?

This award-winning historical trail returns in 2021 and ready to challenge runners, joggers and walkers alike.

From picturesque Arundel, the route winds along the spectacular South Downs Way, ending on the steps of Winchester Cathedral, one of the most historically significant buildings in Britain and claimed burial ground of twelve English kings, making it England’s first-ever Royal Mausoleum.

You will be treated like royalty on your journey with fully-stocked pitstops, laden with food and drinks, an overnight Basecamp and tireless support from our crew and medics.
