Overview
The Rye Summer Classic Series provides a unique chance to enjoy one of Britain's most treasured conservation sites, covering a mosaic of interlocking shingle ridges, saltmarsh, intertidal grazing, reed-beds and saline lagoons. It can get windy on the reserve but if conditions are favourable then fast times are likely. These races enjoy incredible race day vibes and are ideal for both beginners and experienced runners. With a choice of race distances across all but the September race edition, it will be the summer racing series that you wait for every year.
