Organiser's description

A new multi-terrain race through the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in East Sussex. Starting and finishing in the medieval town of Rye, this challenging circular route winds its way through ancient woodland and farmland on trails, footpaths and quiet country lanes, linking the Norman churches of Rye, Iden, Beckley, Northiam and Peasmarsh - a true steeplechase!

The undulating multi-terrain route includes 1,500ft of climb, with numerous gates and stiles to be negotiated, but the stunning scenery will keep you going to the finish. Not up for the full 30k? There's a 15K option on the same route, turning at Peasmarsh.
