General Information:     

The Marathon course runs through wooded and grassland areas of the Sussex Downs.  There are no water crossings.  The seven artificial obstacles are constructed on valley slopes and  fairly flat ground all within easy walking distance of the main complex and stable area.  Exercising is within the confines of the Park.

 

Location:

Stanmer Park is on the A27 Lewes road approximately 2 miles northeast of Brighton, next door to Sussex University.  Post code BN1 9SE.  When approaching from the M25/London travelling towards Lewes, Eastbourne and Hastings, the signs for the Universities should be followed.  From Eastbourne/Lewes direction follow along the A27, the exit is at Southern Water just after the overpass at Sussex University.

There will be major road works on A27 near the entrance to the park.  If necessary please follow diversion routes. 

 

Alternative Interests:

Stylish, cosmopolitan and eccentric, Brighton has had a reputation for glamour since the eighteenth century when the Prince Regent (later George IV) first visited and decided to stay.  Take a walk along the beachfront where bars, cafés, restaurants, and the Artist’s Quarter provide the perfect place to browse and relax.  Take in the Regency architecture that is on a par with the best in the country; visit the exotic Pavilion; enjoy the famous nightlife and the enormous range of visual and performing arts including Brighton International Arts Festival, the largest in England.  Discover the historic heart of the city in the world famous Lanes and shop until you drop in the bohemian North Lane
