Firle 5km Handicap Trail Race

West Firle, United Kingdom • 17 Aug 2025

The Firle 5km Handicap Trail Race is a scenic trail running event held at Firle Village Hall in the UK. The race features a 5km out-and-back course along the Old Coach Road, primarily on hard trail surfaces with some quiet country lanes, offering beautiful views of the South Downs. It is a handicap race, meaning runners start at staggered times based on ability to level the competition.

The course is fully marked and marshalled, with facilities including toilets, changing rooms, and parking at the village hall. After the race, participants can enjoy tea and cake. Entry is limited to 50 runners, with prizes awarded to the top three finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
