RUN YOUR HEART OUT
Every February Crawley Run Crew hosts it's annual race as part of the West Sussex Fun Run League, Run Your Heart Out (RYHO)

This 5 mile / 8k run starts and finishes on the track of K2 Leisure Centre in Crawley before heading out into Tilgate park for a run around the nature centre, the Walled Garden and Tilgate’s three lakes.
Starting on the athletics track, runners are treated to a track start and run a full 400 meters of the track then head out into Tilgate Park. The route is designed to be challenging and does feature many of the park’s hills as well as taking in the stunning scenery of the lakes. The route features a heart loop section and out and back section as you run along the dam, which allows you to see other runners on the course and offer words of encouragement or allow you to see where the competition is!

As one of the West Sussex Fun Run League (WSFRL) races, the ethos of the race is to have competition but keep it fun and accessible for all. The WSFRL runs is own scoring system for race positions but also includes participation points and the race carries a sense of local community with many running clubs coming from across the county to race. Clubs cheer in their own members and there is a real sense of togetherness whist we all enjoy the benefits of outdoor activity for both our physical and mental health.
Our race, as well as many others in the WSFRL, only costs £5 to enter the senior race and we also run a junior one mile race costing only £1 to enter.
The Junior race also starts and finishes on the K2 Athletics track, then heads out into the park before turning around at half a mile to head back for another lap of then track and a stadium finish!

Our next race is on the 16th February 2025
The senior race starts at 11:00 with the junior race starting at 10:30
Please see below for our entry form for both races.
We look forward to seeing you on the start line!
