Great route with the best marshalls!
Michael Saunders
Excellent, well organised and friendly event. Good facilities, cake, hot dogs and drinks. Good toilet facilities and the bar! Well done!
As a suggestion, could there be an option of a bacon butty and buttered roll with the hot dog?

There is nothing I can say that needs changing...an absolute gem of an event.
I cannot fault anything about this event. Am so glad I decided to go. Thank you.
Christina Harrison
Thoroughly enjoyed this 10k last year, didn't disappoint this year either and I recommended it to others that came along, see you next year. Thank you
Jane Adams
Well organised and lots of marshals
I was tail walker with Lorraine Hewitt and a lady fell we had to help her up she was checked over afterwards by the paramedic and seemed ok.
Many thanks for your help Jane.
Aimee Dempsey
Loved it and my 9yo loved the children’s race
Very much a family event
Really enjoyed it
Richard Hermanns
Picturesque setting for a run in the Sussex countryside
Clearer / better tannoy would have been helpful so that I could hear why the 10k was delayed. Beyond the organisers control but better weather would have made me more likely to sample the bar or cake stalls!
Many thanks for your comments. We have been reviewing the event and will be using a different PA system for the 2026 race. Thanks again, we value all feedback because it helps us improves the event.
Ros BIRD

Colin Brookes
All round excellent event
Jamie McNish
Brilliant event for runners at all levels
Andy Rye
A lovely rural event, great course. Nice friendly atmosphere.
A really enjoyable event with a distance for everyone. Lovely course and well marshalled.
Some logistical issues possibly to iron out for next year perhaps, only little bits that didnt detract from the event.
Overall a great race, thanks.
Many thanks for your comments. Unforeseen timing issues on the one mile race had a knock-on effect on the overall organisation. We have reviewed this as a team and put measures in place to avoid this in future events. For example, we have adjusted the 5k route so that the 5k and 10k races can start together and help the schedule run more smoothly. We genuinely value feedback from runners because your comments help us improve the event and we appreciate you taking the time to share them.

Fantastic day - well done to the organisers
Christopher Lee
Great coirse
Pity the 5k was over distance by at least 300m
Many thanks for your feedback. For the 2026 race, we have adjusted the 5k route and the distance should be spot on. Thanks again, we genuinely value feedback from runners because your comments help us improve the event and we appreciate you taking the time to share them.

Absolutely fantastic
My first 10k for this race.
Travelled from to Bexhill-on-Sea to Haywards Heath to come with my daughter.
Lovely atmosphere, lovely people, great course and very well organised.
Would do it again and I'll remember to wear trail trainers next time
