Three Forts Challenge – Virtual

Three Forts Challenge – Virtual

Known as “The Tough One” the Three forts is a half marathon or a marathon which climbs 3450ft and over three Iron Age forts in Cissbury ring, Chanctonbury Ring and Devils Dyke. The half marathon may be more appealing climbing just 1450ft and taking two of the three forts.

This event has been run by volunteers and since 2004 and has supported the following charities:

Chestnut Tree House
Shoreham Lifeboat station
Ferring Country Centre

During this time it has raised approx. £50,000 for these local charities and currently is supporting the Ferring Country Centre which is a centre for adults and children with learning difficulties. The event takes place on the bank holiday weekend in May and the next race will be held on 1st May 2022.

We have had a particularly difficult period and would love to keep supporting local charities in and around the Worthing area but need your help. Our event in 2020 was cancelled due to COVID which left us with excess medals and t-shirts. We put a number of these to good use in the 2021 event but we still have up to 100 left in stock and would like to cover the cost of these. To compound these difficulties when we held the event in 2021 on arriving at the start area on the day of the event the mobile toilets that had been delivered the day before had been set alight in a needless act of vandalism.
