Rye Ancient Trails 30K & 15K

Rye Ancient Trails 30k & 15k takes place in Rye, East Sussex, with HQ at Rye Sports Centre. Participants choose 30k or 15k on a true steeplechase-style course across the High Weald AONB, linking Norman churches in Rye, Iden, Beckley, Northiam and Peasmarsh. The multi-terrain, hilly route winds through ancient woodland, orchards, quiet lanes and offers coastal viewpoints, with around 1,500 ft of total climb.

The event is community-driven, supported by marshals and local volunteers, and features the finish tea by girl guides. Highlights include bespoke medals, free photos, prizes, and a scenic, friendly atmosphere. Detailed route maps and GPX files are available.
