Newport Pagnell Carnival 5K
The Newport Pagnell Carnival 5K is a single-lap, fully closed-road race through the historic market town of Newport Pagnell on Saturday 4th July 2026. The course winds through town streets and finishes at Riverside Meadow, the centre of the carnival day.
The event includes a UKA-affiliated competitive race and family-friendly fun run options. The Serious 5K is a chip-timed, measured course with marshal and medical support, a water station on course, professional photography, online results, and a finisher medal. Family Fun entries are available, including a children's category where those under 11 must run with an adult. Push buggies are permitted only in the Family Fun 5K. Dogs are not allowed in any race.
Entry is required in advance; there are no entries on the day. Race packs may be collected in advance at the event expo or on race day at the registration tent. An Athlete Guide will be emailed about one week before the event. Deferrals are not accepted within 30 days of the race, but entry transfers are allowed before the final deadline.

Limited parking is available at the finish; participants are advised to walk or be dropped off where possible. A secure bag drop is provided with a maximum bag size of 45 x 36 x 20cm.
