Route information

This event commences and ends in the picturesque Sussex town of Rye, before runners head out on a circular route into the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
This race certainly provides a challenge, however it will be well worth it for the epic views and the extensive historical landmarks for example, the Norman Churches of Rye, Iden, Beckley, Northiam and Peasmarsh.
With over 1500ft of climbing throughout, this race is designed to prove a formidable challenge however, with both a 15KM and 30KM route this event really is open to all.
The Rye Ancients Trails 30K & 15K raises money for the Oliver Curd Trust.

Loved everything about it from the Town Crier starting us off, the stunning scenery, good cameraderie of runners to the brilliant marshalls and helpers. Where else would you get bread pudding en route and a free pint at the finish ? A must experience. Thanks all.

Such a fantastic course through wonderfully historic countryside. This is what off road running is all about.Ok, so there are hills…but the views from the tops are glorious.Thanks for such a well organised event.

This is my second year running the race and I couldn't recommend it more highly. It takes in the best of English countryside in late summer - running through apple orchards, past vineyards, stables and through fields of sheep and cows. The course is challenging and varied enough to mean I was never bored and the kilometres fly by faster than I was expecting. My only advice is that you will have a bit of waiting at the start to get over stiles - if you're midway through the pack and not rushing for a pb, it's not a bad chance to catch your breath and enjoy the scenery!

Great race in stunning countryside, helped by the weather this year. Very nice atmosphere, definitely a race not a fun run but very friendly with lots of encouraging fellow runners. All the support (drinks, snacks and marshals) you could need and a great welcome at the finish (with more refreshments and facilities). Nice to be given a beer at the end for those that wanted too.

Enjoyed the variety the course offered - fields, orchards, trails, woods. The course was undulating but no killer hills thankfully. Many, many stiles so if you want a rapid run then make sure to start near the front of the pack. The course was well marked out with ribbons and signs but I would also suggest that ground trip hazards are better marked next year. Thank you - will be back next year!

A great challenging course , perfect for BeachyHead training. The marshalls were all fantastic and friendly. The water stations were spot on every 3 miles, cant fault it.

Great event on nice trail with really good scenery. The route was very well signed so no chance of missing a turning, lots of helpful marshal's on the course, aid stations every 5k and a great finish location that was close to parking, easy to access and great for spectators. Overall, a really well organised, fun event.
