Well done to Dan and Julia first team on the 2 person relay. I think we need to make Dan work a little harder next time? Anyway I think it was a lot of fun and hope everyone who took part enjoyed it.

Unusually for this event, and July generally, the weather was cool and wet and the course muddy in places. However perhaps better for running in than the searing heat of earlier years although personally I did not find the heavy down pour with 1.5 mile to go helpful. Still a very scenic event. Successfully completing the event were Graham West, Dan Reed, Brian King, Will Blanford, Catherine Harker, Fluer Blanford and Hen Browne.

Graham, Adel and Dayle ran the Weakest Link on this Weds evening as parts of joint teams with Heathfield. You run a 2.5k leg each then all run a fifth leg together, not sure where we came but a lot of fun.

Strong turn out for the Heathfield 10k, pictured left to right Graham, Catherine, Emma, Peter, Dayle, Brian, Tanya, Dan. Mark, Ryan Will and Fluer also ran but missed out on the team photo. Please see the results page for times. This was followed by a Barbecue at Ray and Tanyas house. The rain held off making a very pleasant afternoon. Thank you to Ray and Tanya for their hospitality.

Tara Sinha, Emma Hyland and Racheal Hornigold completed the South Downs Way Marathon in 5hour 19 closely followed by Tanya Edmondson in 5hour 28. It is a tough off road Marathon (can't think any of it
is flat) so well done. There are some pictures which I will get on the site when I get chance but may not be until the weekend
From the runners:
This trail marathon is organised by 2:09 Events – it was well organised and a very enjoyable day! This marathon starts and finishes in 2 different places, you park at the finish and you are bussed to the start, the start was staggered with the ‘slower’ (I do dislike this word!!) runners going out first, I can understand why this was done, but it must have been frustrating for the ‘faster’ runners coming through as they had to try and pass us on sometimes very narrow paths, there were a few tuts and groans on the way round!! The South Downs are beautiful and we saw some amazing views, the route was mainly trial – with some very big hills, with spectacular views, views that good we stopped for a photo session! We were very lucky with the weather, the sun shone all the way, the finish was in the Country park, there was a couple of places selling sports clothing, and a snack van – the promise of a burger at the finish (Tara had already told us of the ‘snack wagon’) was a great way to get through to the end, there was also a drinks and cake stand – so something for everyone, Tanya, Tara, Rach and I were trying to decided which was a better marathon Beachy Head or South Downs?? I think they are both very similar, the one thing that IS better at Beachy is there are more areas for spectators, the South Downs did not have a lot of chances for supporter to watch – but at the points that were accessible the crowds were great – especially Ray!!
