Walking Race

Race Results - Monday 5th April 2010

The Independent state of Cuckfield Annual Walking Race was held on Easter Monday. A near record number of sixty eight walkers set off from the Recreation Ground, in a brisk North East wind, between 10.00 and 10.30. The extended start reflects a handicap system unique to this traditional village event. The race takes about an hour and circumnavigates Cuckfield.

Jeremy Crampton and Tina Blackburn were the first to finish, while Rob Helliwell and Sarah Fry carried off the trophies for the fastest time. Two of Cuckfield's five public houses won the team events. The White Hart and The Wheatsheaf respectively, are now the custodians of the Challenge Cups until Easter 2011.

Many thanks to all those who helped organise or took part and especially the Cricket Club and Wheatsheaf who both entered teams for the first time in a while.
