Fantastic event. Raised the standards of trail marathons. So well supported, stunning course and the uniqueness of joining the city marathon for the final 5km was good fun.

Great day and an amazing course. Fantastic to finish with lots of public and not just in field in middle of nowhere.

The majority of the course was great and the aid stations were excellent. The course was well signposted and marshalled but only up until the the seafront where it all got very vague. I even went too far as I did not clearly see the left turn amongst all the crowds and marathon runners which took me back off into the city. I am not the only one who found the last 6/7k the worst bit. Wouldn’t do it again.

Great Maverick race, as usual! Nice ‘hybrid’ option - trails with a bit of road & ‘city marathon’ finish. It’s hard to find a marathon distance race on trails so super happy for this one! The South Downs are an absolute joy to run through in April, I’ll definitely be back next year!

Mavericks are always amazing experiences. So well thought out, stunning trails. I didn't enjoy the merge with the Brighton marathon, I thought I would love the crowds but not for me.

The combination of the epic views on the South Downs and the amazing vibes in Brighton was the perfect combo.

Great event. Lovely route, views and super organisation. Main issue was the merging with road runners at Madeira Drive. As they were further towards the start of their race, they were going a lot slower than the trail runners. Due to the bottleneck at this location it was very difficult to overtake too which was frustrating.

Would be really good to have an area at the finish for getting changed. Very difficult to do a complete clothes change without flashing a couple of hundred people. And you do need to get changed to keep warm and get wet, sweaty clothes off. Loved the trail run, all of the marshal...

Would be really good to have an area at the finish for getting changed. Very difficult to do a complete clothes change without flashing a couple of hundred people. And you do need to get changed to keep warm and get wet, sweaty clothes off. Loved the trail run, all of the marshalls so friendly and helpful and the course was stunning. Very well organised
