Welcome to Lindfield Life’s Lindfield Village Run event page. Here you will find our most recent information for the race.
The Lindfield Village Run is a well-established event that sets out two cross county runs: a 10k Village Run and a 5k Family Run. Both take place mostly on paths and tracks through the West Sussex countryside in the immediate vicinity of the village of Lindfield. They are old fashioned cross-country runs with multi-terrain, some slippery surfaces and the odd cow in fields!

2025’s Lindfield Village Run is scheduled for 18th May 2025.
Sign up to run this year’s Village Run on 18th May 2025
With Lindfield’s annual village run coming up at the end of the month, the streets here can often be seen bursting with eager participants, keen to get training for the event on Sunday 18th May.
Seen as one of the most challenging traditional cross-country runs in the county, Lindfield Village Run comes in two flavours; 5k and 10k – although the organisers recognise the distances aren’t quite exact!
Last year, over 600 runners took part across both races. However, with ever-increasing costs of hosting such an event, the organising team have decided to cap the number of entrants in order to be more efficient and avoid wastage of items like entry forms and medals. So, it’s a case of reserve your spot early; bookings can be made now online at www.kingedwardhall.org.uk. There is a possibility that runners may not be able to sign up on the morning of the run.
The event is part of a duo of fundraising activity with Lindfield Village Day (Sat 31st May), the profits from which go back to Lindfield’s King Edward Hall – a registered charity in its own right.
This year, the run is being supported yet again by local businesses Six Physio and Potential Personal Training – whose financial support helps to keep the entry costs down.
“The run is a highlight of our calendar,” Six Physio’s Alex Keogh said. “Seeing so many familiar faces of all ages running together is fantastic. Supporting this great community event, cheering the runners on and watching them cross the finish line is brilliant.”
