Whats New For 2018 #4
The Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend is now all set to include 9 events and we are excited to announce the popular Haywards Heath 10 Mile will follow a new route.
The 2 lap format will continue to start on South Road but a new section of the route has been designed to take runners through Beech Hurst Gardens and Bolnore Village to avoid the busy Traunstein Way, providing a safer route for participants and volunteer marshals.
The East Grinstead 10 Mile and Burgess Hill 10K routes will remain the same.

2017 entry frees held until end of day Sunday 1st October for all 2018 entries!
