Runners depart from Amberley Museum and join the South Downs Way within the first kilometre. The course travels over Bignor Hill down to Cocking and on to Queen Elizabeth Country Park before ascending Butser Hill. From there it is 5 miles or so to Aid Station 1 at the Sustainability Centre at mile 30.

Runners must then travel approximately 11 miles further west on the South Downs Way before making the turn onto the Wayfarers Walk.

Section 2: Wayfarers Walk and St. Swithuns Way from Exton to Farnham - 32 Miles

Runners traverse the Wayfarers Walk for 7 miles through Cheriton to join the St. Swithuns Way on the edge of New Alresford. From there it is north east on that trail past Check Point 2 at Bishops Sutton Village Hall - Mile 49. Then continuing on up through Alton, to Farnham at mile 74, where runners commence the final leg of their journey.

Section 3: North Downs Way from Farnham to Juniper Hall - 26 Miles

Runners join the North Downs Way at the trailhead, the large copper sign on the crossroads from where our NDW50 and NDW100 begin. Then travel east through Puttenham - and the final check point at mile 80. Then over St. Martha's, Newlands Corner and Ranmore Common before descending down through Denbies Vineyard as the finish comes into view. The final sting in the tail is the climb up Box Hill Steps, before turning north past the Trig Point atop the final climb, off of the NDW for the final descent down to Juniper Hall below.
