Silsoe Stride
The 13th Silsoe Stride is scheduled for 28 June 2026 at Wrest Park, Silsoe, Bedford. The event includes a 5K, a 10K and a programme of Children’s races and a Fun Run, all held within the grounds of Wrest Park and neighbouring farmland.
- 5K race for entrants over 7 years; walkers and Nordic walkers welcome.
- 10K race for entrants over 15 years; not suitable for walkers; includes a few hills.
- Children’s Fun Run and races for ages 2 to 10, distances 100m to 1000m.
The course runs through the park and adjacent farmland and is described as scenic with a gently undulating route. Children are allocated to specific races by age and school year group; all finishers receive a medal and the first girl and first boy in each children’s race receive a trophy. The 10K contains a few hills and is restricted to those over 15 years.
The Stride is organised by volunteers and village groups and shares profits with local beneficiaries; in previous years more than £28,000 has been distributed. This year planning and running are shared by Silsoe Pre-School, Silsoe Lower Football Club, Silsoe Cubs and Scouts and Silsoe Millenium Green Trust. There is space on the Wrest Park playing field, planned refreshments and toilets with controlled access. Entry fees range from £6 to £26.
