chichester harbour

The amazing trail around Chidham Peninsular and surrounding harbour-side paths will take in the most spectacular views of Chichester Harbour (Area of outstanding natural beauty); including long reaching views over Bosham Hoe, Itchenor, East Head and the surrounding South Downs.

The quiet scenic routes will overload your senses with constant coastal vistas and wildlife, making it one of the South’s best kept secret trail runs. This well crafted off-road route will guide you around the perimeter of the Chidham Peninsular and an additional loop around the top of the harbour.

The route is run at low tide as it includes a small section of the foreshore giving a unique running experience. The flat nature of the course makes for a perfect early-season run.

Regardless of experience or ability, we actively encourage new runners to our events and have 2 route distances to choose from.

At the finish line you will receive a well-deserved high-quality metal medal, finisher’s gift and refreshing drink!

Also, why not treat yourself to something from our RunRebel Merch tent after your memorable run. We have plenty of products to choose from.
