The Barry Richards 10K is a “club only” race for members of Hastings Runners. As long as you are a paid up, current member of the club, then you can enter this race for FREE.

It takes place in Bexhill and starts at the foot of Galley Hill. The route is almost dead flat with the turnaround point at Cooden Beach. Many of the club members have run their PB’s in this race.

This is my goal race in 2023 and twice in the past I’ve run a 10K PB here. One year I also did it in 1 hour and 4 minutes (at a 100% effort level).

The wind and summer heat are the two factors which can ruin a good time. In 2022 it was 30 degrees when we did the race and it added around a minute on to most runners race times.
