Another joint venture between Martello Rotary and Seaford Striders
We are pleased to announce that this will be taking place on Sunday April 14th with registration at Seaford Rugby club from 8 am onwards. The start will be at 9:30 at Bonningstedt Parade. Unfortunately, due to increases in costs, there’s been a slight increase in the entry fee, but we think it’s still good value at £24 for England Athletics affiliated runners and £26 for non-affiliated. Registration for on the day entries will be £28. (N.B. There is an additional £2.00 booking fee for online registration via the link below)
Race HQ address will be: Seaford Rugby Club, The Salts Recreation Ground, Richmond Road, Seaford, BN25 1DR
This event attracted over 200 entrants in 2023 and looks like becoming a firm favourite with local runners. With the expertise of the Seaford Striders we hope to encourage even more entrants this year.
All proceeds of the event will be donated to charity, with Seaford Striders and Martello Rotary jointly donating to Seahaven Storehouse (our local foodbank) and the Sussex Heart Charity.
As in previous years, this race will offer a beautiful but tough run following footpaths and tracks up onto the Downs. After a section along the South Downs Way taking in the stunning views there will be an exhilarating downhill run to Bishopstone then a long flat run along the seafront to the cheers of the crowds!
This is a race recognised by England Athletics and as before, will be chip-timed. Race timing will be provided by the professional race organisers ‘NE Timing’ of Staplehurst in Kent To enter or for more information go to:-

For anybody wanting to help with this or any other Martello Rotary events or activities, we are keen to attract new members. Our main “raison d’etre” is to raise money for local individuals and organisations in need, while providing a service to the local community.

And a few comments from 2023 entrants
