Mince Pie 10 2026

The Mince Pie 10 is a 10-mile multi-terrain race starting in Peacehaven, East Sussex, held during the Christmas season and organised by Seaford Striders. The route combines farm tracks, bridleways, and quiet roads, with organisers advising runners to anticipate significant mud. Fancy dress is welcomed, Christmas music features, and entries typically sell out rapidly. Approximately six miles are off-road, utilising farm tracks and bridleways, with the remaining four miles on relatively quiet roads. A challenging hill appears around mile six, requiring a pace beyond steady road running. Walkers and participants with dogs are not permitted. The event benefits The Rockinghorse Children's Charity, supporting infants, children, adolescents, and families, and St Wilfrid's Hospice in Eastbourne, which provides care for adults with life-limiting conditions.
