About this event
The Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend spreads a marathon across three days and three towns in the Sussex countryside. Held over the May Bank Holiday, this 14-year-old event offers a relaxed approach to the classic distance: a 10-mile stage in East Grinstead, another 10 miles in Haywards Heath, and a 10K finish in Burgess Hill. Each course mixes road and trail, winding through varied Sussex landscapes and townscapes. Runners can tackle all three stages for the marathon medal or drop in for a single race. The weekend also welcomes families with mile races and shorter fun runs for younger participants, creating a genuinely inclusive festival atmosphere. For those who can't make it in person, virtual options keep the event accessible to distant supporters.
