The Barbury Castle Sunset 10 km is an off road trail race held at Barbury Shooting School near Barbury Castle in Wroughton, SN4 0QH.

Practical arrangements include on site parking at the shooting school, a bag drop at headquarters left at entrants risk, toilets, voluntary First Aid cover and post race refreshments with a bar and BBQ. Finishers receive a unique medal. There are no on the day entries; entries were open from 20 February 2026 to 17 May 2026 and the entry fee was £15. The event is currently full and new entries are placed on a waiting list. Waiting list entries do not require payment until a place is offered.
