Estimated reading time 2 minutes
Run Barns Green started way back in 1982 and to celebrate 40 years of running in Barns Green has unveiled its 40th-anniversary logo which will be used to promote this very special local event throughout 2022. Run Barns Green is made up of three races; a half marathon, a 10k and a new race for youngsters details about which will be announced very soon. Run Barns Green will take place on Sunday 25th September 2022.
Run Barns Green Race Director, Nigel Currie said, “We are delighted to unveil our special 40th anniversary logo for this year. It is remarkable that the small village of Barns Green has been able to stage such a big event for 40 years. It is a great testament to the dozens of volunteers and supporters from in and around the village that the event has kept going for so long and grown in stature and reputation. We will be adding a third race to our event and we will be announcing details of our new race for youngsters very soon”.
Run Barns Green was cancelled because of the pandemic in 2020 but was able to go ahead last September when just over 1300 runners registered for the two races which follow routes on closed roads through the lanes of Barns Green, Itchingfield, Dragons Green, Christ’s Hospital and close to Southwater through some of the most scenic countryside in West Sussex. The race also goes through the magnificent grounds of Christ’s Hospital School and throughout the race routes, there are live bands playing to encourage the runners. There is plenty of free parking, and chip timing for each runner in both races and there are also pacemakers running who will help runners to achieve their target finish time. As part of the Run Barns Green’s ongoing sustainability programme, all finishers receive a wooden medal at the end of the race.
Registrations for the race are open on the Run Barns Green website; runbarnsgreen.org.uk
