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.

Beyond the festival
Next up: the Christmas Rave Run, Friday 18 December at 6.15pm. A party on the move! 5k through Haywards Heath on the last Friday before Christmas, with the Christmas classics playing from our backpack speakers. Before that, we teamed up with Potential Personal Training in September for a 12 Hour Backyard Ultra.
