Training for a race takes commitment, consistency, and attention to detail… but one thing that’s often overlooked? Your vision. Whether it’s reacting quickly to changes in terrain, staying focused in bright conditions, or simply feeling comfortable mile after mile, clear vision can make a real difference to your performance and overall experience.
That’s where the headline sponsor for the Haywards Heath 10 Mile comes in. As a proudly independent, family-run practice based right here in the town, Haydenswan Eyecare is built around community. Co-founder Claire Hayden said: “We’re here for the early morning runners, the weekend joggers, the PB chasers, and everyone in between. Supporting local events like this is our way of giving back to the people we care about most, you.”
As part of Mid Sussex Marathon Weekend, the event comes to Haywards Heath on Sunday 3rd May, and includes Mid Sussex Fun Run, Mid Sussex Mile and the 10 mile, which starts on South Road before entering Victoria Park to complete two course loops covering roads, paths, trails and footpaths in and around Haywards Heath. Much of the route is offroad and mainly traffic free. The fun run starts at 9.30am, the mile (aimed at junior runners) at 10am, with the 10 mile kicking off at 10.30am.
