Lindfield 10k Village Run & 5k Family Fun Run
Sunday 17th May 2020

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
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 2018 event.
The Lindfield Village Run is now a well-established event which sets out two cross county runs: a 10k Village Run and a 5k Family Fun Run. Both take place mostly on paths and tracks through the West Sussex countryside in the immediate vicinity of the village of Lindfield. It has often been described as an old fashioned cross-country run with plenty multi-terrain, some slippery surfaces, and the odd cow in fields!
The course is fully marshalled and marked out. The Run starts and finishes at HICKMANS LANE RECREATION GROUND in Lindfield where there are changing facilities, refreshments and some basic showers. 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 about it – we may not always be as responsive as you’d like us to be. But we will always do our best.
Lindfield Village Run is two traditional cross country courses over some beautiful Sussex countryside and the next annual event will take place on Sunday 17th May 2020
