Thousands took part in a marathon hike for charity.
The South Coast Mighty Hike for Macmillan Cancer Support took place on Saturday, September 27.
Participants trekked from Brighton to the Seven Sisters along a 26.2 mile route through the South Downs.
Camera Club snapper Victoria Burtenshaw took some great pictures during the event, including the stunning views.
Around 1,235 hikers took part in either the full or half marathon, who raised £1.07 million for the charity.
Allison Thomas said: “What a great day! Couldn't have asked for better organisation, views or weather! So grateful to have taken part in this event, I found it quite emotional reading who people were hiking for as we crossed paths. We all had our own reasons why we were there.”
Norma Leppard said: “Our team the Highflyers enjoyed the hike, and we were blessed with wonderful weather, just perfect. Thank you all so much, the snacks and food provided excellent. So pleased we were able to raise so much money for Macmillian Cancer Support”
Lisa Ellis said: “I had an amazing day hiking with some amazing people. Thank you to the lovely volunteers cheering us on, feeding us and to those behind the scenes making it happen. This is a truly beautiful albeit challenging route.”
Helen Hancock, Challenge Events Team Manager at Macmillan Cancer Support, said: “The thousands of people taking part in Macmillan Mighty Hikes across the UK this summer really are an incredible community.
"We want to say a massive thank you to everyone involved for their amazing support and for braving the breathtakingly beautiful, but physically challenging South Coast Mighty Hike.
“So far, the 1,235 Mighty Hikers from across the UK have raised an incredible £1.07 million! We’re so very grateful for everyone’s efforts to raise vital funds for Macmillan and our work to support people living with cancer.
“Do something Mighty for Macmillan and sign up for our 2026 South Coast Mighty Hike, which is now open. Head to mightyhikes.macmillan.org.uk to find out more.”
The event was due to take place in June but was postponed as a result of bad weather.
The "award-winning" hikes take place across the country and raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, who provides specialist health care, information and support to people affected by cancer.
The next south coast hike is due to take place on June 13 next year.
