The Maverick East Sussex Trail

Sat 11th April 2026

A large group of people are running across a grassy field toward a wooded area, with some runners in the foreground and many more further ahead under a clear sky. Four men are running together on a grassy field with trees and hills in the background, under a partly cloudy sky. They are dressed in athletic clothing and appear to be participating in an outdoor run or race. A group of runners, mostly women, jog along a wooded trail, smiling and wearing race bibs and hydration packs, surrounded by green trees and dappled sunlight. Two men in athletic gear run on a dirt trail through a green, wooded area. Both are wearing race bibs, and appear focused and determined. A third runner is visible in the background. A runner celebrates with arms raised while crossing the finish line at an outdoor race event, with cheering spectators, banners, and a black inflatable arch reading "Maverick" in the background.
