Ashdown Forest 10 & 5 Mile: Summer Challenge

About this event

Set in the heart of Ashdown Forest, this summer road race offers runners a choice between 10-mile and 5-mile routes through East Sussex countryside. Starting from Pippingford Park Manor, the courses wind through multi-terrain paths that showcase the forest's natural beauty. The event emphasizes sustainability while maintaining a festive race-day atmosphere. Both distances are thoughtfully designed to suit different experience levels, with the 5-mile option welcoming newer runners and the 10-mile route providing a solid challenge for those with more miles under their belt. The series format allows runners to book both summer and autumn editions at a discount, making it easy to return and experience the forest in different seasons.
