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

The Run starts and finishes at HICKMANS LANE RECREATION GROUND in Lindfield where there are refreshments and changing facilities. Lindfield is under two miles from Haywards Heath with its excellent railway services. There is limited parking. It is recommended that people use parking in the Village and make their way to the registration point and start point by foot. There are bars to lock up bicycles and there will be a supervised luggage drop tent where runners can leave their belongings at their own risk.

WHAT IS THE ROUTE?
We are closing number of roads for the duration of the run. The Hickmans Lane - start/finish crossing point. The section between Kenwards Farm and the river Ouse on Highbeech/College Road and a small section of Copyhold Lane. Thereby making these road sections safer for runners. However the crossing point at Ardingly College and the section from the end of Spring Lane to Lindfield Church remain open to traffic. Extreme caution should be exercised when on these sections.
