The second staging of the 1066 Relay will be on Sunday 6th May 2012, with circa 50 - 60 teams of runners from all over the South East expected to take part in this five stage off-road relay organised by Hastings Runners. The 33.25 mile race starts in the grounds of historic Pevensey Castle and follows William the Conqueror's 1066 Country Walk route, passing such iconic landmarks as Herstmonceux Castle and Battle Abbey before passing through Battle Great Wood, Westfield, the Brede Valley, Icklesham and Winchelsea on the way to the finish in Rye. There will be plenty of events going on both outside Battle Abbey and at Rye, to keep spectators entertained before the runners arrive. The inaugural race was a great success raising over £1600 for local charities, and race organiser Nick Brown expects this figure to be comfortably exceeded next year.
