Sign up to take on Race to the King today. The money you raise will fund vital support and life-changing research. 

Choose from the 50KM coastal trail, the 50KM castle trail, or the 100KM ultra marathon. On the coastal trail you'll set off on your memorable journey down to Chichester Harbour and through the ancient village of Bosham, where you'll take in the panoramic views of this coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

For the castle trail, you'll set off from basecamp and head through the historic town of Arundel, where you will witness the impressive Arundel Castle as you meander along the river Arun. 

The ultra marathon is designed to challenge the most experienced ultra participant, whilst providing the perfect entry point for those taking on their first ultra marathon. The 100KM takes you on a journey to the coast before looping back to Goodwood Racecourse and out towards Arundel Castle and the heights of the South Downs.
