PLOD - South Downs Way - Midnight 20 July 2012

PLOD is the ultimate team endurance challenge. If you are looking for adventure, have decided it’s time to live life to the full, or just want to do something different in 2012, then this is the event for you!

PLOD is not for the faint hearted or the ill-prepared. We have designed a gruelling course that will probably push you further than you have ever been pushed before.

The 40-mile challenge begins at midnight at the magical, ancient site of Devil’s Dyke, just north of Brighton. By the time you reach the finish line on the picturesque Eastbourne seafront the following afternoon, the South Downs Way will have amazed you with its stunning beauty and tough challenges. 

Perfect for groups, friends or work colleagues. Companies looking to develop team bonding will benefit, and for those seeking an out-and-out challenge against their competitors, this event will deliver on all fronts.

We are all about pushing you to the limit. Join us to improve the quality of life for thousands of sick and vulnerable babies and children. We are able to achieve our goals by helping you achieve yours.
