The beautiful Bewl Water. On the border of Sussex and Kent, this challenging off road event was voted the 6th best race in the UK by the readers of Runners World magazine.
Hosted by Wadhurst Runners, the race was started by none other than Dame Kelly Holmes who then participated in the race herself. From Uplands Community College in Wadhurst, this 15 mile course made a tour of the lake before meandering around some of the country lanes and footpaths nearby.
It’s gently undulating course was no obstacle for our distance king Steve Hickman. In fact this would probably count as a short run for our Kent crusader.
“It was very hot on the trails and hills, but that I was pleased with the run” he said afterwards
He smashed round the course in 2.37.05, looking very pleased with himself at the finish.
