WSFRL: Lewes 10km - Run 4

AS LEWES Athletics Club host the fourth run in the West Sussex Fun Run League the leader board couldn't be tighter.   Haywards Heath Harriers are holding joint second position, and looking to get into the top spot.    Lewes was that opportunity with their 10km trails run.

As usual the run is held on the Easter Bank Holiday Monday, starting at the Leisure Center on the athletics track and then moving down onto Ham Lane, under the A24 and then heading out around Lewes on the trails.

I have run this event a few times now and look forward to it.   The weather was beautiful as we were running on the flood planes, as Lewes used to be a port.   Previous runs it has been pretty wet and muddy, with a lot of chalk on the ground it creates a white mush, but not today.

I believe that the course goes across private land, that you cannot normally run, unless taking part in this event, which is the Ifold Estate.   Working around the course through woods and fields you route takes a turn through the picturesque village of Ifold as it then starts to go back towards Lewes again.

Haywards Heath Harriers were out in force to try and get maximum points for the run, including new members who were out for their first run.
