Race HQ: Ashburnham Place, Battle, East Sussex, TN33 9NF
By Car: Ashburnham Place is roughly 5 miles outside of the village of Battle, just off the A271. Ashburnham Place will be on your right if travelling from Battle and there are signs marking the entrance. There will be ample parking available for the race. We also encourage our runners and their supporters to car share wherever possible; car parking on site is limited and it also helps to reduce our carbron footprint!
By Train: There are train services into Battle Station, from where you can take a taxi to the race (there are taxis just outside the station). You can also catch the train to Bexhill Station, from which it is around a 7 mile taxi journey to Ashburnham Place
