Lucky Dip 10
This event takes place on Sunday 3 January 2027 from a start and finish in East Dean, Eastbourne BN20 0DR. The in-person course is listed as 10.5 miles, mostly on trail, with about 1000 ft of ascent and descent and a marked route. Terrain is reported as 99% trail and 1% tarmac. Minimum age to enter is 16.
After completing the in-person run over Beachy Head, each finisher takes part in a lucky dip at the finish. The distance drawn from the hat becomes the target distance for the challenge; any remaining miles must be completed virtually, in the participant’s own time. For example, completing the 10.5 mile run and drawing a 100 mile distance requires finishing the remaining virtual miles to reach 100 miles in total.
There are five monitored Strava groups runners can join to log virtual miles, with links due to be emailed before January. Alternatively, weekly results for virtual miles can be submitted by email with a screenshot or URL. The virtual completion window runs from 3 January until 20 March. The event was created to use surplus medals, buckles, and shirts from previous events in a sustainable way.
The organiser’s refund policy states no refunds except for pregnancy, in which case a full refund is available if notified before the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
