#Virtual Archives - Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend 2024

Virtual Race 2022 16th April – 2nd May.

As an inclusive event there is something for everyone, with Fun Runs and Mile races each of the 3 days for younger participants and new runners.

Those unable to attend the in-person event can take part in our virtual race, between 16th April and Monday 2nd May 2022.

Double European Athletics Champion, Paralympian Fabienne Andre is an advocate of this year’s Virtual event: “Participants can take part wherever and however suits them, walking, in a wheelchair, on a scooter or a bike – the more creative the better!”

Day 2 of The Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend usually takes place in the thriving town of Hayward’s Heath, in the heart of Mid Sussex. Here we start in the lovely Victoria Park and runners continue through beautiful rural lanes and secluded woodland paths.

The Town can trace it’s origins back to 1544 but the completion of the London and Brighton Railway Line in 1841 marked the rapid expansion of Hayward’s Heath.

This year, you may not be able to run The Hayward’s Heath 10 Mile but can still complete the event virtually and will bag the Hayward’s Heath Medal for completing either a 10 Mile or 5 Mile. Alternatively, you might like to try the 1 Mile or the 1K Family Fun Run!

Complete the distance in any location near to you, or even at home if you can’t go out. You can run, walk, skip or cycle your chosen distance!

The choice is yours!

If you live in the Hayward’s Heath area, here’s a few suggestions for local places to run and walk;

Before setting off, do check they are open and remember to follow the latest government advice to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
