Prizes: All finishers will receive a bespoke souvenir medal and runners completing the full Mid Sussex Marathon Distance will receive a Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend T-Shirt. The prizes will be awarded on the finish line.
Timing: The race will incorporate chip timing so chips will be posted out to participants along with race number prior to the event. The timing chips are disposable and therefore do not need to be handed in after the race.

Mid Sussex Fun Run: The Mid Sussex Fun Run will be the first event of the day, starting at 9.30am. They are a great opportunity for young children, parents, and families to be involved in the Weekend event. Adults who are looking for a more relaxed and sedate event will find the Fun Runs ideal. Every finisher will receive a medal.
Mid Sussex Mile: The Mid Sussex Mile will be at 10am before the main race. The Mile races are aimed at junior runners, with every finisher receiving a medal, with trophies for the top Boys and Girls.
