Middle Distance Races ⬥ Saturday 27^th March 2027

UPDATE!

We are no longer able to run this event at Ambersham Common due to environmental concerns. We are now in active discussions with landowners about alternatives and plan to announce a replacement venue in November. The areas under consideration are also close to Midhurst so will not affect any arrangements you make for travel and accommodation.

Embargo
