If you want to treat yourself or a loved one to some fun & self care with a local race, then look no further; the Rye 10 & 5 Mile is a joy to race and we can't wait to share it with you.
This is a Nice Work race
This means that it is an original Nice Work race, fully hosted and organised by us.
Event Overview:
We love this local race; it's supported with some truly wonderful running folk and is filled with racing delight.
Once again, this exciting event will be organised in conjunction with the Peasmarsh Memorial Hall Committee to help raise funds for the Village Hall.
The race will still be the same challenging and scenic course on the quiet country lanes surrounding the pretty village of Peasmarsh, just outside of Rye in East Sussex. The race has always received superlative reviews and with two wonderful race options to choose from, how can you resist?!
Whichever distance you choose, you're sure to be delighted!
Course Overview:
This challenging 10 mile race follows the scenic country lanes around Peasmarsh and Rye. Starting and finishing at Jempsons Supermarket, the race goes out for around 3.5 miles before commencing a 3 mile loop that brings you back to the same point to return the final 3.5 miles to the finish. The course is undulating, with a few challenging hills, but is an accurately measured road race. The five mile race is an out and back route with runners being turned around just before Partridge Farm.
The race takes place on open roads and, whilst they are quiet country lanes, they are not closed to cars (except along Tanhouse lane by the start/finish). There are some two-way sections on the route where you will pass other runners so please keep to the left and allow your fellow runners space.
The race takes place on tarmac throughout.
