Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend
Haywards Heath, United Kingdom • 2-4 May 2026
Event overview
The Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend is a three-day running event held over the early May Bank Holiday weekend, returning for its 15th year in 2026. The event takes place in West Sussex across three towns: East Grinstead, Haywards Heath and Burgess Hill. The course terrain is described as multi terrain and undulating.
Each day hosts a separate town race that together form the full Mid Sussex Marathon. East Grinstead stages a 10 mile race, Haywards Heath hosts a 10 mile race, and Burgess Hill finishes the weekend with a 10k. Runners may enter an individual town race or complete the full marathon distance over the three days.
