By car:
General Event Parking: The University of Sussex have kindly given us permission for participants to park for free in their Jubilee multi-storey car park which is only a 10-minute walk from the event area. To access this car park, please enter University of Sussex campus via University Way or Knights Gate Road and follow signs to 'Car Park 7', which is at the end of Arts Road. Please use postcode BN1 9RG or use the what3words app to take you to the exact location (using the words ///pile.soon.broad). Once parked, follow signage and stewards' instructions to cut through into the top of Stanmer Park from the car park, as this will be much quicker than walking back along the roads! Please do not park on grass verges within Stanmer Park or on the surrounding roads, as parking fines will be issued.
Blue Badge Parking: Accesible parking can be found inside the park in Lower Lodges Car Park West, off Stoney Mere Way.
Volunteer Parking: (TBC)

Electric Charging points: Electric charging can be found in the university in the multi story car park.
Public transport and pedestrians:
Pedestrians: Please enter the park via the main entrance on Stony Mere Way.
Bus: The Brighton and Hove ‘Breeze’ Bus Service provides access to Stanmer Park. The Route 78 arrives at Stanmer Park Gates (approximately 2 minute walk from the event site) every 15 minutes on Sundays. Plan your journey here.

These cycle stands are available to all park visitors including users of BTN BikeShare bikes. For more information visit the BTN BikeShare website or download the app on your device.
The Stanmer Park course is extremely uneven with muddy pathways which are affected by the weather. This can cause the ground to become very boggy also there are also some steep inclines and declines, for this reason we deem this event as unsuitable for wheelchair users.
We aim for maximum accessibility at our events. Our contact centre and on-site team are ready to assist with any needs or questions you may have.
Additional Support request badges are available, and our Event Managers are trained Dementia Friends.
Bring a water bottle
We’re trying to reduce single-use plastic at Race for Life. Please bring your own reusable water bottle, already filled. We'll provide an ecofriendly water-refill station at the finish that uses as little single-use plastic as possible.
Have the right kit
It’s a good idea to check the weather before your event and dress accordingly. Think breathable sports gear (leggings and shorts are ideal) and well-fitting trainers. For Pretty Muddy, wear something you don’t mind getting dirty.
Check out the latest range of Race for Life clothing and accessories in our online shop.
Be sun smart
Stay sun safe by finding shade when you’re not on the course and covering up with clothes, a hat and sunglasses. On parts you can’t cover, use sunscreen with at least SPF15 and a 4 or 5 star rating. Find out more about being sun smart.
Your back sign and race number
Remember to bring your back sign and Race number which will be sent to you in the post – don’t forget safety pins so you can attach them to you.
