Overview

The Worthing Seafront Run is a stunning 5km route that captures the essence of the beautiful West Sussex coastline. Starting from Marine Gardens, you’ll meander along the promenade, taking in the historical charm of Worthing’s architecture and the lively atmosphere of the seafront. As you run, you'll be greeted by breathtaking views of the English Channel, with the sounds of waves breaking against the shore creating a soothing backdrop. This mostly flat terrain makes it perfect for runners of all abilities, whether you are a beginner or a seasoned athlete.

Tips for Runners

For the ultimate experience, aim to run in the early morning or during sunset to avoid the busier times on the promenade. Staying hydrated is crucial, particularly on warmer days. Ensure your mobile phone is charged before you set off, as reception may be spotty in certain areas along the seafront. While this pathway is generally safe, remain attentive to cyclists and fellow runners sharing the same space.
