Great trail event with a good atmosphere

Be helpful to have a covered bag drop at Haywards Heath, just in case day 3's rain arrived a day early!

This was my first time doing this event and I did all three and I would do it again. It was awesome. The medals and finishers T shirt were the icing on the cake.

Everything was well arranged. East Grinstead was my favourite out of the three. Having use of the Rugby Club was great. No need for portaloo's.

Would do it again

For q2. Only rated good as parts of Haywards Heath route are a bit bland.

For q6. The event was V friendly and a treat spirited. The terrain particularly on days 1 & 3 might be too much/disheartening for newer runners

Excellent

I was worried that due to the weather the event would be called off so I was relieved to see a video posted to say that it would go ahead but with a responsible change to the course.
The conditions made it very tough but the volunteers and other runners definitely made it.
Thank you to everyone who helped organise it.

Wet-wet-wet

No clear info re collecting bib on the day. System to defer was rather complicated. My partner had to email you. Cup of tea after it like Hastings Half is great.
Always nice medals. See you next year.

Superbly well organised and warm and welcoming event. Ran the Haywards Heath 10mile and Burgess Hill 10Km, apart from the weather challenging but fun course on both days

maybe a few more toilets required at Haywards Heath. Really enjoyed and will run it again

Brilliant event. Superbly organised.

I couldn’t believe it on day 1, when I first drove straight into a parking space and then proceeded to the toilets, where there was no queue!! Unheard of. Well done…
