Route description
Route description
The course is a single lap for the 10k with 5k runners doing a shorter loop of an undulating route around the trails and paths and roads around Madehurst and South Downs.
The only thing that I think could be improved is the way the prizes are awarded to the winners. It was all done in the doorway and no one could really hear or see properly what was going on. It should be made more of instead of half hearted.

Did the 10k in 2019This was a great race in a stunning location despite the horrendous weather the course was great. There were plenty of signs and stewards (Smiling despite the weather!!) so that you did not worry about getting lost.
Loved the course <br />Better medal please next year - limit places so it doesn’t get too busy <br />Well done
It was a lovely run even though conditions were sadly dreadful, very wet. I would suggest there could be a slightly longer childrens race for those not quite able to do the 5k. <br />Also slightly clearer finish post whether due to the weather but not so clear once rounding last 100 meters where one should go. My daughter who is 13 ran the 5k and came second, amazing experience in such lovely Sussex countryside!
I loved my first running experience... It was a tough challenging course but great fun! The weather didn't help as it was quite slippery on parts of the course.<br />It would be really lovely next time to see some thought going into recycling and eco friendly alternatives with regards plastic plates and glasses etc, but overall it was very well organised. <br />
Really nice route, will be even better to come back and do it another year when the sun is out! Marshall were all really enthusiastic despite having to stand in the pouring rain!

Did the 5k in 2019Medal should be bespoke to event seemed a bit cheap. Starting point was awkward on a bend. Overall a very beautiful run
The route was brilliant loved mud ..puddles my sort of race ..Great job was done my lovely marshals thankyou for standing in the rain and still be so cheerful ..Hope it becomes a yearly event ..</p><p>
All credit for those making this possible in atrocious conditions - could have done with advanced notice of 5k/10k change over point; runners criss crossing through the mud at last minute - also, people seemed confused at finishing point, as some started to go off left, almost missing the mats etc, this was due to just a few indicating cones as finishers came round the final section. Not meant as criticism; all supporting staff needed a medal more than us ! Will do this again and thoroughly recommended.....thanks again !
