Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend

Welcome to the Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend, the only event to bring the three MY ESCAPE
towns of Mid Sussex (East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill) together.

Hosted by Mid Sussex District Council along with the East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill Town Councils the event has been staged annually since 2012.

Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend is managed by Places for People Leisure, in association with Active House Solutions.

The three races combined will cover a total of 26.2 miles – the classic marathon distance. Using undulating roads, trails and pathways in and around Mid Sussex, the races are run over mainly traffic-free routes. The event suits runners of all standards including those new to 10 mile races. Runners can enter each race individually but those completing all three will receive a special commemorative Marathon Weekend medal as well as their individual race medals. In addition to the main races, there will be a Mid Sussex Mile race open to all, including younger runners and those seeking a more leisurely distance.
