Beckley 10k

Sun 7th November 2021

A large group of runners, wearing race numbers on their shirts, participate in a road race on a two-lane road. Trees and houses are visible in the background. Many participants are dressed in colorful athletic gear, and a sign reading "START" is visible on the right.

Organiser's Description

Come and join us in the Sussex countryside! This popular but challenging rural run returns again for a 17th consecutive year (not even Covid stopped us!) in 2021!

The Beckley 10K is run along the quiet country lanes around this pretty East Sussex village, just outside the mediaeval Cinque Port town of Rye. We can't lie - the course is hilly in parts, although the home stretch is straight and largely downhill-ish, so a fast finish is guaranteed. Despite its challenging nature, the race has always proved popular and it is a race which is suitable for both experienced athletes and those runners new to the distance. Also 2 mile fun run/walk and 1 mile Children’s Dash.

So, come and join us and enjoy some fine Sussex hospitality!

How To Get There

Beckley is a small village, near to the town of Rye in East Sussex. It is located on the B2088 minor road five miles northwest of Rye and ten miles from Hastings. There is no train station in the village and a limited bus service. Runners are recommended to drive, cycle or walk to the event.

There will be ample parking available close to the race HQ at Beckley Village Centre; however, participants are asked not to park on the road outside the Village Centre, as this could obstruct the route to runners and other vehicles.

For those that wish to get the train, we recommend travelling to Rye Station (East Sussex), but Beckley will be a 10 - 15 minute taxi ride away.

Course Details

The accurately measured course passes through the quiet country lanes around the East Sussex village of Beckley. With a couple of challenging hills, the course is undulating, but the final stretch is relatively flat, offering the chance for a fast finish. The start and finish are close to the Village Centre, which is at the heart of Beckley.

Whilst the route is on quiet roads, we cannot guarantee that the race will be entirely traffic-free.
