East Sussex Sunday Cross Country League Race 1 takes place at Snape Wood near Wadhurst, bringing senior and junior runners together for the opening fixture of the league season. The senior race follows a two lap course through the wood, with the rural setting providing traditional cross country conditions.
The senior course is approximately 5 miles and is distinctly hilly, with mud, uneven ground and some gravel sections underfoot. Cross country spikes are generally suitable, while the combination of climbs and typically soft conditions provides a varied challenge for runners throughout the two laps.
Junior races take place before the senior event, with shorter courses provided for the different age groups. Snape Wood is one of several venues used by the East Sussex Sunday Cross Country League, with runners accumulating individual and team results across the season.
