| 2009 was the inaugural year in the Sussex AA 10k Road Challenge and from this we have made changes following lessons learnt and feedback from runners.
The sole aim of this challenge, put on by Sussex AA, is to improve the standard of road running in the county. 2010 has seen the challenge increase to 5 races, and we wish to thank those clubs who are supporting this initiative. Sussex Athletics will be once again working in partnership with well respected and established road races for 2010. The following five races make up the challenge: Chichester (Feb) - Heathfield (Jun) - Hellingly (Sep) – Bexhill (Sep) - Brighton (Nov) In 2010 only runners of clubs who are affiliated to Sussex AA will be included in the scoring and entitled to awards.
