Sunday 5 June 10:00 – Chelwood Gate Village Hall
The 2016 Fun Run was held on 5 June, over a 5km course on the Ashdown Forest, under sunny blue skies. We thank the Conservators of Ashdown Forest for once again granting permission for the run to be held. Many thanks to everyone who took part – we hope that you thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
The race results will be posted online shortly.
The fun run is organised in association with Mid Sussex Triathlon Club and all proceeds from the fun run go to support the work of St Peter and St James Hospice.
The run is open to all over the age of 16 over a distance of 5km across the beautiful Ashdown Forest. In previous years this has proven to be a very popular event and applications must be made in advance to guarantee your participation. The map of the 2016 route is similar to previous years but with a new finish, and is available here.
The fun run starts and finishes from Chelwood Gate Village Hall, Beaconsfield Road, Chelwood Gate. See the map in the Contact Us section of this website for directions.
The entry fee for the fun run remains at just £10 with all profits from this event going to St Peters and St James Hospice and Continuing Care Centre.
2016 Fun Run registration is now closed.
We look forward to seeing you at the 2017 Ashdown Fun Run next year.
Congratulations are due to our prize winners: Clive Spencer (first man), Rosie Alterman (first lady), Chris Oglethorpe (first under-21) and Austin Warren (first over 50).
