Lindfield 10k Village Run & 5k Family Fun Run Sunday 19th May 2024


 

SPONSORS

Alongside our dedicated team of volunteers who put on Lindfield Village Run, we also heavily rely on local businesses who have generously given their time and money to help put on the run each year. Thank you to both Potential Personal Training and Six Physio for their support again for the 2024 event.

The Lindfield Village Run is a well-established event which sets out two cross county runs: a 10k Village Run and a 5k Family Run. Both take place mostly on paths and tracks through the West Sussex countryside in the immediate vicinity of the village of Lindfield. They are old fashioned cross-country runs with multi-terrain, some slippery surfaces and the odd cow in fields!

The course is  marshalled and marked out. The Run starts and finishes at HICKMANS LANE RECREATION GROUND in Lindfield where there are refreshments and limited changing facilities. Lindfield is less than two miles from Haywards Heath with its excellent railway services.

The Lindfield Village Run is organised by a team of volunteers, as one of the largest fundraising events for Lindfield’s King Edward Hall – a registered charity. We are just local people, and not doing this as our employment! So, please bear with us when corresponding with us – we may not always be as responsive as you’d like us to be. But we will always do our best.

10K Village Run

Sunday 21st May 2023. Race Starts @ 10:30am

Lindfield’s Village Run is a 10k (approximately) cross country run which is very popular with both amateur and more serious runners alike. The run, which has been going for nearly 40 years, takes place over roads, uneven ground, farmland and besides streams, and is a cross country course in the true sense of the word. Which is why many love it! There may even be the odd bull sharing a field you’re running through!

Younger runners (under 12) must be accompanied on the course by a running adult.

WARNING: The 10k Lindfield Village Run course has changed this year. So, if you’ve run it before, do please take a look at the route map before the day. Please note: the run takes place over some private land, so you can’t practise the full route before the day.

On the day registration will open between 8.30am-10am. However, we advise you to book online in advance to guarantee your place.
NOTE: Runners arriving after 10am will not be able to collect their number. Allow plenty of time to find a place to park!

  • Lovely event and a perfect first 5k for my 11 year old grandson. So well organised and fantastic volunteers. Well done to all involved

  • Thanks to everyone who made today’s run possible. Great organisation, marshalling and mud!
  • Tony

    As a regular competitor in the Lindfield Run, just wanted to say THANKS to everyone involved who gave up their time. It was a great event - as ever - possibly made better by the complete mudfest! A real laugh - and a wonderful way of bringing together the village.

    A wonderfully fun route amongst all the mud with fantastic marshals and great organisation. The other runners I encountered were also great and really helped to make a top notch race. Personally I was especially grateful to runner number 330 who got me running again when I was giving into my demons and having a sneaky walk up one of the hills. He gave me the little nudge of encouragement I needed.

    Just wanted to say thank you for a great race on Sunday. As a family of four we ran the 10k and it was a beautiful day and course - proper cross country, trail running. A few minor hiccups were more than compensated for by the 'village run' feel, the course and the enthusiasm of the marshals and volunteers. We will be back next year.
