The Sussex Running Festival

After an incredible first year, Sussex RunFest is back on the last weekend of June. A community festival built by runners, for runners: a whole weekend to move, learn, and connect.

Last year's line-up
RunFest will be the perfect blend of movement, community, music, and fun.

What & When

Sussex RunFest is a grassroots running and wellbeing festival, organised entirely by volunteers. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just getting started, there’s a place here for you.

Move

Group runs, strength and conditioning, run-focused yoga.

Learn

Inspiring talks, practical workshops, and a focus on running well and feeling good.

Connect

Rave Run, challenges, games, music, and a whole weekeend with the local running community.

26–28 June

Based around a hub and other venues in Haywards Heath.

Save The Date

We're excited to welcome you on the last weekend on June, 26-28th.

Join fun, friendly group runs. Hear from inspiring runners. Try yoga, strength training, or expert workshops. Or drop in for a talk, a game, or a post-run drink with the community. No pressure — just choose the things you want to do.

In the meantime, check out last year's line-up for a flavour of what's to come.
