Weald Challenge

Discover the hidden trails of the Sussex Weald at this beloved community trail half marathon on Saturday, June 7, 2026. Starting from the village of Chiddingly, the Weald Challenge offers a beautiful and classic trail running experience, following the Wealdway out and the Vanguard Way back on a route now extended to 22.2km. You'll enjoy a serene journey through quintessential English countryside, with a relaxed five-hour time limit making it wonderfully accessible to runners of all abilities. The event is renowned for its friendly atmosphere and unique rewards, including a bespoke handmade finisher's coffee mug, a quality medal, and complimentary post-race cakes and drinks in your new mug. This popular race, now organised by Uckfield Runners, sells out its 400 entries quickly, so early registration is highly recommended. With a special "Meals Not Medals" option allowing you to donate part of your fee to the local food bank, it's a race where every step supports either a personal achievement or a vital community cause. Lace up your trail shoes for a truly rewarding run through the beautiful and undulating Sussex landscape.
