The East Grinstead 10K, also known as the Andy Ripley Memorial Run, is a largely flat multi-terrain 10K held in East Grinstead, beginning at Imberhorne School. This community race takes place in October, organized by volunteers from East Grinstead Runners for runners. It typically attracts 300 to 400 participants, from those running their first 10K to experienced club athletes.

All proceeds benefit local charities, including East Grinstead Lions, their prostate cancer screening initiatives, and Being Neighbourly.
