GROUNDED EVENTS INTRODUCE SEASONAL SERIES

Grounded Events (GE), organisers of Brighton Marathon Weekend and Brighton Trail Weekend, are pleased to announce the launch of Seasonal Series, a trail running event that will take place within the impressive grounds of Leonardslee Lakes & Gardens in West Sussex for a unique running experience.  

Following the success of the inaugural Brighton Trail Weekend in June 2022, GE are inviting people to register their interest for the pilot of their new trail event, Seasonal Series. Set to take place on Sunday 18 September 2022, it will offer people an exclusive opportunity to run or walk an outstandingly beautiful 10km trail route in and around the stunning grounds of Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens.  

As part of their experience, participants will also be able to explore this incredible venue after crossing their finish line, with free access to the gardens and discounted access for their friends and family. 

Adam Streeter, general manager of Leonardslee Lakes and Gardens says: “We are delighted to welcome the trail runners to Leonardslee for a unique running experience in beautiful grounds. It will be challenging and offer wonderful views of the lakes and ancient woodlands. There are tea rooms and shops on the estate and runners can visit our website to see the full range of facilities.”

With seven beautiful lakes, as well as flora & fauna that change dramatically through the seasons, Leonardslee is the perfect backdrop for the planned ‘Seasonal Series’ of 4 x 10km events, which will take place across the year. GE hope to launch the series in its entirety following feedback from the pilot event, which will help to develop the format and ensure the best experience for participants and their supporters.  

After only a few days, the ‘register your interest’ list has proved popular with a fantastic response to the launch. Tom Naylor, MD at Grounded Events said, “Following a difficult few years for events and a decline in people attending live events, it is overwhelming to receive such a positive response to the pilot of Seasonal Series. As someone who has run all my life, this venue offers a running experience like no other and I can’t wait for runners and walkers to join us this September. This pilot will be an exciting opportunity for runners and walkers to help us shape the event and offer more beautiful trails throughout Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter at Leonardslee in 2023.” 

Interested runners should register their interest for the pilot event by Monday 31st August, 23:59 for first chance to enter at: groundedeventscompany.co.uk/seasonal-series/
