The more the merrier.
Pace
About 7:00/km. We regroup often.
What it is
A social 5k run with music through Haywards Heath. We run together at about 7:00/km (35-minute 5k) and regroup regularly. Bring your friends and anyone who's back for Christmas! Under-18s are very welcome with a paying adult.
Where and when
Friday 18 December. Meet from 5.45pm. We set off at 6.15pm and we’re done by about 7pm, so there's plenty of time to get to other Christmas plans later. Or stay around with us! Venue to be announced.
Previously, at the Rave Run
Like this, but more tinsel.
What to wear
Whatever you like. Christmas jumpers, Santa hats, tinsel, and elf ears are all very welcome, but totally optional – just pick something you can run in. And bring lights, please: running lights, fairy lights, LEDs. It’ll be dark, so they help keep everyone safe.
Plus, two tickets to our next Rave Run will go to the best dressed.
Questions
What if it rains? We still run. A bit of weather makes the finish feel even more earned.
Can I bring my dog? Music, a crowd, and darkness don’t mix well with paws, so we think it’s best dogs skip this one, sadly.
Bag drop and toilets? We’ll confirm both when we announce the venue.
