If you’re walking or running we stay on the promenade and then walk along the shoreline at low tide to avoid the pebbles before joining the promenade again.
From the Cadence Clubhouse (map) we gather at 7.00am and start walking at 7.30am to catch the low tide where it’s needed.
We ask you to register using this link. We also ask that do your very best to raise at least £25 in sponsorship as every pound raised directly goes towards supporting the women who come to us for help, advice and support. Amanda is one of the reasons why we do this – watch her story here.
Once you register we will send you all of the information needed with route maps, other areas where you can join, and timings, the all important toilet stops and snack shacks. We can supply you with ideas about how to raise sponsorship too.

Important information about the Pier 2 Peer event

ASLEF has announced that there will be a rail strike on 1st October, this means that those taking part will not be able to use the rail service to return to Eastbourne.
However there is a good bus service that covers all points of the walk and information can be found on the Stagecoach App (Apple/Android) or visit Stagecoach website where you can plan your journey and get the bus number and the available departure time from the place you wish to travel from. You can also download bus timetables from their website.

Everyone who participates will receive an environmentally-friendly medal.
