Beckley 10K & 5K

Beckley 10K & 5K is organised by Beckley Village Centre, with race management provided by Nice Work. The event brings runners to the East Sussex countryside near Rye for two road races and a supporting junior fun run, combining a longstanding village running tradition with a challenging rural course.

Both main distances follow single-lap routes along quiet country lanes around Beckley. The 5K separates from the longer course after approximately 2K before turning back to rejoin the route towards the finish. Both races feature demanding hills and narrower road sections, although the final stretch is predominantly downhill. The roads remain open to other users, including motorists and cyclists.

Marshals, course signage and water stations support runners around the routes, with bespoke medals awarded to finishers. The junior race covers approximately one mile and is not chip timed, with trophies for the leading boy and girl. Race headquarters at Beckley Village Centre provides toilets and baggage storage, while individual and age category prizes recognise performances in the main races.
