How 2026 participants described RunFest
Fun. Friendly. Informative.
Sussex RunFest is a grassroots festival. Come for a day or the whole weekend and pick the bits that suit you.
Trail runs, road runs, strength and conditioning classes, run-focused yoga, and mobility work.
Inspiring talks, practical workshops, injury and coaching clinics, nutrition advice, and a focus on running well and feeling good.
Social runs, games, challenges, music, and a brilliant weekend with the local running community.
