Event overview
The Rye Summer Classic Series provides a unique chance to enjoy one of Britain's most treasured conservation sites, covering a mosaic of interlocking shingle ridges, saltmarsh, intertidal grazing, reed-beds and saline lagoons.
It can get windy on the reserve but if conditions are favourable then fast times are likely. This race enjoys incredible race day vibes and is ideal for both beginners and experienced runners.

There is a train station at Rye with regular trains from Hastings and Ashford. There are regular buses from Rye station to Rye Harbour village.
What a lovely race! Having completed a fair few runs in London this year, this was a contrast. The number of participants, the route and the support made for a much more peaceful run. Sarah M
Nice little race, good PB potential. Ellie S
This race is a very flat out and back course, on tarmac, with a few VERY gentle rises that catch your muscles out! ...it makes a very good race and good for PBs (which I got!). I'd certainly do this race again, and would definitely recommend it. Mark R
Very supportive marshals. Lucinda R
