Rye Summer 10k & 5k Series: Race One

The Rye Summer 10k & 5k Series: Race One takes place at The Point, Rye Harbour Nature Reserve on 8 May 2026 and forms the opening race of a five‑race summer series. The event offers three distances on the day: a Junior Run (1 km), a 5 km and a 10 km, and is set on a flat, tarmac course noted for its coastal scenery and potential for fast times. Typical start windows for this May edition are early evening, with the Junior Run scheduled at 18:30 and both the 5k and 10k around 19:00, making it a convenient after‑work race for local athletes.

Entrants may enter individual races or buy a full‑series package which includes a series T‑shirt; series entries also include bespoke medals for the 5k and 10k and finisher medals for the Junior Run. On‑the‑day entries are permitted subject to availability and the organiser publishes route maps and GPX files for participants to download. Nice Work manages the event and provides standard race policies (transfers, deferrals, no refunds as published) and race information in the event listing and athlete materials.
