Take on an unforgettable challenge and help children feel safe, heard and supported

Starting at the stunning Goodwood Estate, the South Downs Hiking Trail takes you deep into the heart of the National Park, offering spectacular views across the rolling South Downs and glimpses of the North Downs, Chichester Harbour and, on a clear day, the Isle of Wight.

The route is thoughtfully crafted to showcase the area’s natural beauty, weaving through forest tracks, skirting the edge of Levin Down, and joining a stretch of the iconic South Downs Way. After a rewarding downhill into East Dean, there’s one final climb before your triumphant finish back at Goodwood.

With three distances to choose from, this event has something for everyone. Choose from 12km, 17km or 21km trails.

If you choose to walk for Eikon, we will support you from start to finish.
