Extreme Energy is delighted to introduce a new race to the ultra race calendar – The Vanguard Way Multistage Ultra running event. The “Vanguard Way” from the suburbs to the Sea Ultra will be run over 2 days. The route follows an established way marked trail from Croydon through woods and fields to Ashdown Forest and then crossing the South Downs heading to Newhaven.
The runs will take in some of the most spectacular scenery that Surrey and Sussex has to offer. You will cross the North and South Downs, Ashdown Forest and have spectacular views of the sea and Seven Sisters along a great piece of coastal path towards Newhaven.
This event will suit those who want a new challenge at ultra distance, people looking for an alternative to running marathons, those training for events like the Marathon des Sables or anyone who loves seeing the beautiful English countryside across the Surrey, Sussex countryside and the South Downs.
