Alderton 5k Run

The Alderton 5k Run is a friendly, fast, and mostly flat race held in the picturesque village of Alderton, Gloucestershire. Now in its 14th year, the event welcomes runners of all levels, from beginners to serious competitors, with finish times ranging from 16 to 45 minutes. The out-and-back course runs along quiet country lanes, passing the hamlet of Great Washbourne before returning to Alderton Playing Field, where the race finishes with a short lap of the football pitch.

The event is family-friendly, allowing under-16s, dogs, pushchairs, and escorted runners. Participants receive free medals, finish line photos, and post-race massages, with all entry fees supporting the local Alderton Acorns Pre-School and Toddlers group.
