5 Barriers Fun Run
The Orkney Branch of Amnesty International is holding the annual fundraising Five-Barriers Fun-Run on Sunday 6 September 2026. The scheduled timing of the event is set to coincide with low tide.
The route covers 6.5 miles beginning at the Holm Football Club, crossing the four Churchill Barriers, touching base on South Ronaldsay, and returning over the fourth barrier to finish at the Sands Motel in Burray Village.
Entrance fees are stated as £10 per adult and £5 per child (under 15), with the option to participate by fundraising sponsorship. Entry and sponsorship forms are available from the Pickaquoy Centre and Trek and Travel in Kirkwall, the Library in Stromness, and from shops in St Margaret’s Hope.
The event is open to all participants. The organiser notes that people may run or walk, and that dogs and push buggies are permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
