The River Run

Hi, I'm Jake, and I’m excited to introduce you to the River Run, a race I’ve dreamed of creating for years. Growing up near the stunning British countryside, I’ve always had a passion for the natural beauty that surrounds us. Running along the banks of the River Adur in Shoreham-by-Sea and the surrounding South Downs has been my personal escape — a way to stay connected to the outdoors and embrace the peace that comes with it.

The River Run was born from my love of running, exploring the quiet corners of our landscape, and, let's be honest, the unbeatable feeling of indulging in great food after crossing the finish line! For me, a race isn’t just about the challenge — it’s about the joy of the journey and the reward that follows. From stunning views to the thrill of being in a race, I wanted to create an event that celebrates all the best parts of running.

This race invites you to experience the same sense of freedom and exhilaration I feel each time I hit the trails. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just enjoying the scenery, I know the River Run will be on your top races in the UK in 2025.

I can’t wait to share this adventure with you. See you on the course!
