Stunning location; hilly two lap route; well signposted and lots of marshals; hope lots was raised for charity.

I was one of the slower runners and loved the route. Even the hills. The unmown grass was a challenge to run in! Lovely to see the Cadets marshalling. The two girls were brilliant. Would have been nice if the lads had spoken!! A bit of a clap or an enthusiastic well sone goes a long way when you’ve still got 3k to go!!

Give it a go

It's for a fantastic charity, so I cannot complain at all. I signed up to see East Sussex, but close to home due to how I lost my dad (I didn't appreciate the significance of the event, to be honest. I signed up for the views and didn't think about the title). I'll bring some cash for a t-shirt next time.

I am getting into running again, I am not a brilliant runner but managed the 5km. Hopefully, be faster next year.

Great cause and very friendly

More toilets would be ideal, 4 didn't seem adequate for the amount of people. The ground perhaps being mowed a bit more, as very tricky running in some areas at the start and end and one of our team just avoided a twisted ankle as could not see a large dip in ground overgrown with grass. Other than that we love the race and its our 3rd year attending! Thanks to everyone involved!

Great Charity, Great Race

If ever there was a friendly race this is one of them. The course is tough but there is no pressure to go fast.

Great run for an amazing cause

I would love to say beginner friendly, I think it depends on what running they have done before due to terrain/ hills. But I would recommend everyone trying it

Beautiful, well organised race, excellent cause

Just as a note for next year it would be good to inform people of prices for food/drink. We brought cash but not enough as we didn’t know prices!

Very well organised event for beginners and seasoned runners. The course around Ashburnham Place is beautiful but challenging.
