We love this venue with its stunning views over the South Downs. The maze of singletrack that winds its way through the woodland is littered with short punchy climbs, testing corners and grin inducing descents.

SouthernXC returns to Folly Farm to race the testing turns through the woodland and big fireroad blasts, all the trails here have a real old school XC feel which has made it a firm favourite in the short history of this race. This course just keeps getting better and better every year and we can’t wait for the 2025 edition.
