Run Barns Green

Run Barns Green

Run Barns Green is a festival of running held near Horsham in West Sussex. The event programme includes a half marathon, a 10K, a 5K and the Jennings Junior Jog (a kids colour run). The half marathon and the 10K both pass through the grounds of Christ’s Hospital school.

Races are run on closed roads through the West Sussex countryside. There is live music at the start and finish, with additional bands and music positioned along the route. The route is supported by distance markers, marshals and local spectators, and water stations are provided on the 10K and half marathon courses.

Senior races use chip timing, include pacers and award medals to all finishers. Event headquarters are at Barns Green Village Hall, with three large car parks available and free parking on race day; collectors in the car parks may accept donations for the official charity. The event is organised entirely by volunteers and supports St Catherine’s Hospice.

The first Run Barns Green race was held in 1982 and attracted just over one thousand runners. The event combines road racing with a community atmosphere and music along rural roads.
