Organiser's description

Join us for this unique opportunity to race at the breathtaking Ashburnham Place and support a good cause with every step. 

This is a Partner race
This means that we are working with a host Partner Organisation and provide timing and/or race management services for their event.

Event Overview:
The multi-terrain route will take in some of the 220 acre grounds, which are rich in wildlife. Part of the grounds have been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest because of its valuable flora and fauna.

Out Of The Blue is a fund-raising body established in memory of Will Beckett who took his own life at Beachy Head in January 2013, at the age of 42. The tragedy came as an incredible shock for his family and friends - it simply came 'Out Of The Blue'. 

The event aims to raise funds for four amazing charities which helped Will's family and friends in the immediate aftermath of his death. The charities are Winston's Wish, Dragonflies, CALM and The Beachy Head Chaplaincy Team. Out of the Blue raises money to support these charities so that they can continue to help others.

Course Details:
The 10K race is a two lap, multi-terrain course around the lakes within the beautiful rural grounds of Ashburnham Place. It will be run on a mixture of grass, trails and tarmac paths. 5K Runners will do just one lap before returning to the finish.  The Children’s race will be on the field.
