Hi All,

As mentioned a few weeks ago, the 2024 Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon will be organised by Uckfield Runners, who have assisted us at Trail Running Sussex with organising the Weald Challenge Trail races for all nine previous editions. ENTRIES ARE NOW OPEN FOR 2024. See weblink below.

It is great that Uckfield Runners are now fully organising the race, so runners can continue to gain much satisfaction from completing the scenic but challenging route and also enjoy the friendly supportive atmosphere throughout the day. We at Trail Running Sussex can now 'put our feet up' after having put on 11 running events (9 x Weald Challenge and 2 x High Weald Challenge). All the best with your running. Stuart Mills, 'Retired' Race Director Weald Challenge.

Entries for 2024 are now open on the following website link:

I have just registered for the Weald Challenge Half Marathon Why not join me...

07/10/2023

Today we are announcing that the Weald Challenge Trail Races will no longer be organised by Trail Running Sussex, but are now being organised by Uckfield Runners.

We would like to thank all previous runners of the nine editions of the Weald Challenge for supporting our Weald Challenge Trail Races running event.

At this moment in time, it is most likely that the 2024 event organised by Uckfield Runners will only consist of the Trail Half Marathon and will take place on the same weekend, i.e., Sunday 9th June, 2024. Entries for 2024 are likely to open later this month or in November. We will announce here on facebook once entries are open, and where to enter online.

We at Trail Running Sussex have very much enjoyed organising the Weald Challenge since 2014, and we are very pleased that the Trail Half Marathon is continuing. Final details are currently being discussed with Uckfield Runners, but it is looking likely that the 'Weald Famous' handmade coffee mugs will continue to be awarded to all finishers, which is great news for those of you that haven't yet completed your set of six mugs.

All the best with your running, Stuart Mills, 'Retired' Race Director Weald Challenge.

Hi, Although it isn't a trail race, running a 5k on the roads can be good preparation for trail running, so I thought I would share details on a local 5km road race that I am also race director for.

The Kings Head Canter 5K is an awesome event and this year is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. The event takes place on Bank Holiday Monday 28th August, and is a point-to-point race on quiet East Sussex country lanes from the start in Chiddingly to the finish outside the Kings Head pub in East Hoathly. All finishers receive a free drink courtesy of the Kings Head pub, and for this year, all finishers will also receive a souvenir pint glass to celebrate 25 years of the Kings Head Canter 5K.

Race information and online entries available on the event website http://www.kingsheadcanter5k.org.uk/index.html

Hi All, Apologies for the delay in posting the winners of the Langham Hotel 'Spot Prize', consisting of a voucher for an overnight stay for two with accommodation provided in an inland room, including a three course Table D'hote dinner and Full English breakfast.

Two 'Spot Prizes' were available, one for each race distance, and the winners were randomly selected by the website random.org, from all runners that finished each race.

The two winners are 50km Ultra Trail finisher Hannah Billingham, and Trail Half Marathon finisher Beth Jones. We will get the vouchers in the post to these two runners within the next few days, once I have recovered a bit from today's efforts!

Thanks to the Langham Hotel https://www.langhamhotel.co.uk/ for their continued support of the Weald Challenge, and thanks to all runners that ran today, many running the Weald Challenge for their 2nd, 3rd or even their 9th time, as was the case for one runner, Stuart Baker!. It does make all of the time and effort to put on the race very worthwhile when one sees how much satisfaction so many runners experienced when they crossed the finish line, and possibly even more evident today, with the weather conditions making both the ultra and the half marathon even more challenging than usual.

Well done to everyone involved today, all runners / walkers, all supporters and most of all of the the amazing marshals from Uckfield Runners, family and friends, who made today's event run so smoothly. Stuart Mills, Race Director

The Langham Hotel is family run seaside hotel which has 77 well appointed bedrooms. In addition to this the hotel has an award winnings restaurant and cosy bar and lounge area.

Hi All

The 50km Ultra Trail starts at 8:00am, although there are 8 runners who will be starting the 50km Ultra Trail at 7:30am on our early start. (Their official finish time will take into account their early start.)

The Trail Half Marathon starts at 9:15am. The first half marathon runner should finish at around 10:45 am. The first ultra runner should finish at around 12:00 noon.

LIVE FINISH RESULTS ARE AVAILABLE ON THE DAY. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS:

10/06/2023

Hi All, The entire 50km of trails for tomorrow's Langham Hotel Weald Challenge 50km Ultra Trail and Trail Half Marathon is now all marked with our Weald Challenge direction arrows and red/white barrier tape, in addition to the permanent way markings of the Wealdway and Vanguard Way, which the race routes follow.

I can confirm that the trail is TOTALLY bone dry, apart from one puddle on the ultra route, which will require a 1 metre long jump! The weather forecast for tomorrow looks pretty warmish, or maybe could be classified as hot, at 25 degrees.

We have five aid stations for the 50km ultra route, and two aid stations for the half marathon route, where water will be available plus TORQ nutrition products. We also have water melon, bananas and crisps for the ultra runners at their aid stations. Important to remember that the race is a cup-less race, so you need to bring a foldable cup, water bottle, or a hydration system to enjoy the water / quench your thirst.

Our finish line banner will be a welcome sight as your complete your challenging journey, where you can relax and receive your finisher medal and the Weald Famous handmade coffee mugs, to add to your collection if you have run the Weald Challenge before, or, to start your collection. This year we have two coloured mugs, blue and cream. You can also enjoy filtered coffee courtesy of PHARMACIE Coffee Roasters, a local coffee business located in Lewes., and a MASSIVE selection of homemade organic cakes. I think over 20 different cakes to choose from, including vegan and gluten free options.

To those of your running tomorrow's Langham Hotel Weald Challenge, we will see you in the morning, Stuart Mills, Race Director

Good to see that the Weald Challenge race numbers are being delivered in plenty of time before this Sunday's event. A big thanks to the Langham Hotel, Eastbourne for supporting the race. Stuart Mills, Race Director.

Race numbers ready! Every year we proudly sponsor The Weald Challenge Trail Races (50k & 1/2 Marathon) by ‘Trail Running Sussex’ 👍🏻 and this coming Sunday Neil (hotel owner), Simon (GM) and Zdenka (Housekeeper) will get the full race experience 🏃🏽 Who will be the fastest, slowest and most importantly - best looking at the end ? 💪🏻😃 🏅

Hi, It is 3 weeks today until the 9th edition of the Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon and 50km Ultra Trail races take place on Sunday11th June.

I ran along part of the route this afternoon, and the recent dry weather and sunshine is working well at drying up the footpaths and bridleways after the rather wet winter. So if the good weather continues it should be dry underfoot come race day.

Entries are still open for both race distances, however, entries close one week before race day, this being at midnight on Sunday 4th June. We currently have 283 entries for the half marathon, so only 42 spaces available before we reach our half marathon entry limit of 325. If you are planning to enter this year's event, please take note of the entry closing date, i.e. Sunday 4th June, although the half marathon distance may sell out before then, so probably best if you enter earlier rather than leaving it to the last minute.

For race information, and to enter online, visit the Weald Challenge webpages: http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html

Stuart Mills, Race Director Weald Challenge Trail Races.

The Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Races follow the long distance paths of the Wealdway and the Vanguard Way. Both races start and finish in the village of Chiddingly and encompass the surrounding beauty of the Sussex countryside en route. The courses are approximately 75% (half marathon) and 8...

Hi All, Really good to see past Weald Challenge 50km Ultra Trail winners Edwina Sutton (2014) and Juhana Kirk (2018, 2022) perform so well in this week's 268 miles Montane Spine Race. Edwina finished 3rd place woman in a time of 125 hours, 56 minutes. Juhana finished 8th place man in a time of 104 hours, 02 minutes.

During this week it has been rather chilly here in Sussex, and one had to be careful to dodge the ice while out running. It is hard to imagine what Edwina and Juhana had to encounter up north along the Penine Way, although the photos below give some indication. Congratulations to Edwina, Juhana, and all of the other athletes that took on the challenge of the Montane Spine Race.! Stuart Mills, Weald Challenge Race Director.

Just a quick post to the 2434 runners that have run in one of our ten trail running events that we have organised between May 2014 and June 2022. On a wet day today in East Sussex, I have been indoors on the computer updating the Trail Running Sussex 'Hall of Fame'. Click the following link http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/halloffame.html to see where you are ranked amongst the 2434 finishers from the 21 races to date. Stuart Mills, Race Director.

Trail Running Sussex have been organising trail races since May 2014: The Weald Challenge Trail Races starting and finishing at Chiddingly, and for two years (September 2015, 2016), the High Weald Challenge Trail Races starting and finishing at Groombridge. There have been a total of TEN events (8 x...

Within the e-mail there is also information about a Google Survey Form we have set up in order to get your views on the providsion of checkpoint food/drink and to receive any comments about Sunday's event and suggestions for future events.

Here is the link to the Google Survey Form: https://forms.gle/5tSFYrxy68Cg1PDT6

Lastly, we would like to thank you for supporting our event. We really enjoyed putting on the two trail races on Sunday, and overall we were really pleased with how the event went. Maybe see you out on the trails somewhere over the summer. Stuart Mills, Race Director.

With the Weald Challenge Trail races now taking place in less than 4 days time, those of you running the half marathon or 50km ultra this year should have hopefully received your race number in the post today. Some runners in our village running on Sunday received theirs today, so if yours didn't arrive today, it should come tomorrow. Runners should also have received tonight a "Final Details" e-mail. It is a reasonably long e-mail, so a good test of your endurance prior to Sunday's running challenge, but it contains some very useful race information, so we encourage you to read it to the end, and not DNF part way through!

Earlier today, I also picked up 450 Weald Challenge finisher coffee mugs, and as you can see in the photo, the mugs are cream this year. The finisher medals for the two race distances are also within the photo. We are looking forward to presenting you with your medal* and coffee mug at the finish line. See you on Sunday morning, Stuart Mills, Race Director.

*This year we have the Meals Not Medals scheme, see the website for details. If you can't remember if you opted into the scheme, just look at your race number, if it has the Meals Not Medals logo, then this means you decided against a medal and £4 of your entry fee will be donated to Uckfield Foodbank. We think this is a very worthwhile scheme, similar to the Trees Not Tees scheme, so spread the word to other races, so other Foodbanks can also benefit.
Uckfield Foodbank will be receiving over £700 from this year's event to assist them with the great work they do.

03/06/2022

It is now only 9 days until the 8th edition of the Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon and 50km Ultra Trail races take place on Sunday 12th June.

Entries are currently still open for both race distances, however, entries close in 2 days time at midnight on Sunday 5th June. So if you are planning to enter this year's event, please take note of this entry closing data and time.

Unfortunately we are unable to accept any late entries after Sunday night, as our entry database is then finalised, with race numbers being sent out in the post at the start of next week.

For race information, and to enter online, visit the Weald Challenge webpages:

Entries to the 2022 Weald Challenge, Sunday 12th June 2022, opened on Friday 1st October 2021. Entries for both the half marathon and the 50km ultra ARE NOW AVAILABLE via the RaceDirector website,

Hi, It is now only three months / 13 weeks today until the 8th edition of the Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Races http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html take place on Sunday 12th June 2022.

We have around 150 entries still available for the trail half-marathon, however, each year the half-marathon sells out, which it looks like it will again this year, probably around the end of April, based on the entry statistics. I actually find the entry stats quite interesting, (yes a bit sad), but it's quite amazing how consistent the entries come in each month over the previous seven years of the event.

Anyway, I hope your running is going well, and I look forward to meeting some of you on the 12th June. Or maybe meet some of you next Sunday at the awesome Moyleman Trail Marathon, my second time doing this great event, which travels along the South Downs Way and a few other footpaths/bridleways around Lewes.

All the best with your running. Stuart Mills, Race Director.

Hi All, Many apologies, but the other day I noticed that the Trail Running Sussex 'Hall of Fame' webpage, which lists all finishers of the trail running races we have organised, had not been updated! So with it raining this morning in East Sussex, I took the opportunity whilst waiting for the rain to stop to update the webpage with the 2021 results. The 'Hall of Fame webpage, is now updated and lists the names of all 2225 runners (in number of race finishes order) that have finished one or more of our races from our nine events between 2014 and 2021: http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/halloffame.html

I hope your running is going well, and if you have an upcoming race, the preparation is coming along as planned. The Weald Challenge Trail Half Marathon and 50km Ultra Trail races take place on Sunday 12th June 2022, so plenty of time available to prepare for the challenging route through the East Sussex countryside.

All the best for 2022, Stuart Mills, Race Director Weald Challenge Trail Races.

24/10/2021

Hi, Entries to the 2022 Weald Challenge Trail Races have been open for around 3 weeks. We are implementing a few changes for 2022, with one of these being the "Meals Not Medals" option available when entering. If you select the "Meals Not Medals" option, instead of receiving a medal upon finishing, £4 of your entry fee will be donated to Uckfield Foodbank.

To date we have had exactly 100 entries across the two race distances, and 44 runners, which equates to 44% of entrants, have selected yes to "Meals Not Medals". It is really good to see that Uckfield Foodbank will benefit from some much needed fundraising. Although I do have mixed feelings about many runners preferring not to receive one of our medals, as I think our medals are pretty 'cool'. But heaps better that funds will be generated to help Uckfield Foodbank with their great work, rather than us giving out a medal that won't be displayed.

Maybe this "Meals for Medals" option could become an option for other races, similar to how "Trees Not Tees", is now an entry option for many races. Check out our "Meals Not Medals" logo below. Stuart Mills, Race Director.

12/10/2021

Hi, Just a quick post to let you know that we recently opened entries to the 8th Edition of the Weald Challenge Trail Races, which will take place on Sunday 12th June 2022. It is therefore exactly 8 months today until race day.

We have made a number of changes for 2022 which we anticipate will improve the overall race experience and also reduce the amount of waste the event generates. One of these changes is the introduction of a "Meals Not Medals" entry option, similar to the "Trees Not Tees" entry option now available at many races. Please visit the event website for further information and to enter online: http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html

All the best with your running. Stuart Mills, Race Director

Entries to the 2022 Weald Challenge, Sunday 12th June 2022, will open on Friday 1st October 2021. Entries for both the half marathon and the 50km ultra will be available via the RaceDirector website,

Hi, In two and a bit weeks time I am racing London Marathon. For the first time in a while I am combining running a marathon with raising money for charity. The charity which I am supporting this year is stormbreak. Please visit my fundraising page https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/StuartMills28 where there is information about the stormbreak charity. Hopefully you will also feel that what they are aiming to do is really beneficial and subsequently will provide a donation to assist them. To those of you also running London Marathon, I hope your training has been going well, and maybe I'll see you on the day at the London Marathon. Thanks Stuart Mills, Race Director Weald Challenge

Hi All

Below are a few photos from yesterday's Weald Challenge Trail Races which took place in rather hot sunny conditions. Well done to everyone that took on the challenge of completing either a slightly long trail half marathon / 50km ultra trail.

We were really pleased with how the event went, and were especially pleased with the positive response of all runners to the Covid Secure changes we were required to introduce this year. Thanks for the many positive e-mails / comments on facebook we have received. I think the comment below summarises nicely the feelings we felt from the runners yesterday.

"Massive thanks for hosting a perfect ‘return from covid’ event. The attention to detail provided by you and your organising team was just outstanding. The ‘covid safe’ considerations seemed to work extremely well and I don’t think could have been better. A bit of a pain wearing a mask into the water station but a tiny price to pay for the privilege of running in these tricky times". Brian.

We have just loaded 818 First Field photos onto our Flickr pages. The photos are able to be downloaded for free uncompressed. Click the direct link to the photos available on our Result webpage, http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailracesresults.html which also has a direct link to the results on the RaceDirector website, where you are also able to view your checkpoint split times. We hope to have some Finish Line photos up at the same location by Wednesday.

We are also pleased to announce the two runners that each won the awesome 'Spot Prize' kindly provided by the Langham Hotel Eastbourne, https://www.langhamhotel.co.uk/ consisting of an "Overnight stay in a Double Room including full English Breakfast & Three Course Dinner for Two". All finishers of the half marathon were eligible for one of the spot prizes, and all finishers of the 50km ultra were eligible for the second spot prize. We used random.org to select the winners who were:

Half Marathon: Andrew Izzard, 50km Ultra: Tom Randle

We will send out in the post to both Andrew and Tom their prize vouchers in the next day or two once we have recovered from Sunday. We will also send out in the post the trophy plates and prizes for the category prize winners we didn't manage to present their prizes to yesterday. The staggered wave starts made it a bit difficult being able to identify who were prize winners when runners crossed the line, so apologies to those runners who we were unable to acknowledge their excellent performance on the day.

With it being now a few years since I raced my last ultra trail, I'm no longer quite sure what is more exhausting, competing or organising! Both, demanding but enjoyable and satisfying challenges.

Lastly as Race Director I would like to offer HUGE THANKS to all of the tremendous volunteers, who were mainly runners from local running club Uckfield Runners and loads of friends and family, that made yesterday such a hugely successful and enjoyable day for all involved.

THANKS, Stuart Mills, Race Director

12/06/2021

Hi All, It's been very quiet on the facebook front recently, but tomorrow is Weald Challenge race day and everything is in place.

The half marathon route is all fully marked out, with direction arrows (see photo) and red and white barrier tape. The ultra route is also marked out but not to the same extent, with mainly direction arrows.

The whole course is very dry, apart from 2 - 3 very brief (2-3 metre) muddy patches.

Tomorrow's event will be slightly different due to needing to be Covid Secure, including wave starts, and needing to disperse away from the finish line quickly after finishing. But we are still providing homemade cakes and freshly filtered coffee and tea to enjoy from your welt earnt hand made Weald Challenge Finisher Mug. This year the colour is green, but I found around 80 blue mugs from 2019 buried in the loft. So a little bit of choice for the early finishers. This year we also have new Ultra medals,, which contain a map of the route,. Although a bit late, if any runners go a little astray!

Looking forward to tomorrows event, especially after missing 2020. See you tomorrow morning. Stuart Mills, Race Director

25/04/2021

Hi, It is now only seven weeks today until the 7th edition of the Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Races http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html take place on Sunday 13th June 2021.

Entries are now closed for both the 50km ultra trail and the trail half marathon, as there are full fields for both race distances.

An e-mail has been sent out this afternoon, Sunday, to all runners entered for the 2021 Langham Hotel Weald Challenge, which contains some important information about a Covid Secure Tab on the event website. This webpage has details about the changes made to this year's event in order to be Covid Secure. Here is a direct lick to the Covid Secure webpage: http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailracescovid.html
If you are running the event this year, please find some time to view the webpage.

Looking forward to seeing many of you on race day. Stuart Mills, Race Director

According to the Government's 'Road Map' out of Covid, our race date of 13th June 2021 means that social distancing will still be necessary. Therefore please take a note of changes made this year in order to be Covid Secure, in accordance with Government regulations, and UK Athletics requirements.

14/03/2021

Hi, It is now only three months / 13 weeks today until the 7th edition of the Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Races http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html take place on Sunday 13th June 2021.

The Government's 'Road Map' out of Covid restrictions allows racing to re-commence after the 29th March. However, social distancing will still be in place on the 13th June, so we will be holding the Weald Challenge adhering to UK Athletics Covid Secure requirements, which include wave starts and a few other changes which we have indicated on our race webpage.

Personally, I am 'jumping with joy' to be racing again, with my first race scheduled for April. I am also really looking forward to organising the Weald Challenge again.

If you are thinking about running this year's Weald Challenge, but haven't entered yet, or if you know a friend who hasn't entered yet. Please note that there are currently LESS THAN 20 entries available for the half marathon and only 55 entries remaining for the 50km ultra. Once these entries are gone, unfortunately we will be unable to take any more entries. We also do not have a waiting list.

All the best with your running. See you in June, or maybe sooner somewhere out on the trails. Stuart Mills, Race Director.

13/12/2020

Hi, It is six months today until the 7th edition of the Langham Hotel Weald Challenge Trail Races http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html take place on Sunday 13th June 2021, and already I am looking forward to another great day with loads of cheerful runners after being unable to hold the event this year.

We were wanting to surprise the 50km ultra runners back in June with our awesome new ultra finisher's medal, so I have been waiting to 'show off' our new ultra medal for months now! I couldn't wait any longer, so check out the photos below.

It sure will be good to be racing (and race directing) again in 2021. (Fingers crossed). All the best with your running. Stuart, Race Director Weald Challenge.

Hi All, Well the High Weald Virtual Challenge is now complete. In total we had 35 finishers for the 50km ultra trail and 66 finishers for the trail half marathon. There are links to PDF results available on the High Weald Virtual Challenge webpage: http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/virtualtrailraceshwc.html Although for some reason our website is 'playing up' a bit, which I am in the process of sorting out with our web hosting provider. However, the results are also available on the RaceDirector - Results webpage:
Half Marathon - https://results.racedirector.co.uk/high-weald-virtual-challenge-2020/half-18-08-2020.html
50km Ultra - https://results.racedirector.co.uk/high-weald-virtual-challenge-2020/50km-18-08-2020.html

Yesterday we took to our local village shop a total of 98 coffee mugs and 98 finisher medals. (I didn't need to post to myself or to fellow runners within the village our mugs and medals). The Post Office was very happy to sell me close to £300 in stamps. I was VERY pleased that the stamps weren't the old-fashioned stamps which you used to have to lick!

So tomorrow you should receive your finisher mug and medal, although some people have already received their mug and medal today. Which you may think is great, i.e. being such a quick delivery. However, unfortunately too quick, as we have received one report of a broken mug! Hopefully, this won't be a frequent occurrence. Maybe we should have put on each box three FRAGILE labels!

Whilst you are enjoying drinking some coffee or tea from your High Weald Challenge mug (if the super-glue repairs the breakage okay), and you think it would be good to have another similar hand-made mug, but a green colour. Then, this Thursday morning at 9:00am entries re-open for the Weald Challenge Trail Races, where you can receive the Weald Challenge mug for successfully completing either the 50km ultra trail or the trail half marathon next year, on the 13th June 2021. Visit the Weald Challenge event website for further information and to enter online: http://www.trailrunningsussex.co.uk/trailraces.html

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback on the High Weald Virtual Challenge. It was very pleasing seeing the photos and reading the comments of loads of runners enjoying the awesome routes. Maybe see you next June at the Weald Challenge or possibly out on the trails of East Sussex. Stuart Mills, Race Director
