Eastbourne Smile Mile


It is with regret that we have cancelled the Eastbourne Smile on Friday 2nd July 2021, due to lack of interest. Sorry to disappoint you.

We have initiated the refund process with Active.Com so your registration and processing fees will be returned to you in the next few days.

While we endeavour to provide events that are fun, different or unusual, it seems on this occasion there is a reason mile races are few and far between!

We hope to see you soon at one of our other events.
