FOOBS Trail and Fun Runs 2026

The FOOBS Trail and Fun Runs take place on Sunday 11 October 2026 at Old Basing and Lychpit Recreation Ground on the outskirts of Old Basing. The event is described as an annual community running day that uses scenic local trails and involves local organisations in its delivery.

The event programme includes the following distances:

10K chip-timed trail run
6K chip-timed trail run
2K fun run for families and younger runners

The event is supported by the local community, the parish council, and local running clubs. Course maps are available for the 10K and 6K routes, and race terms and conditions are published for participants. Post-run treats are provided after the races.

All proceeds from the event are raised for Friends of Old Basing Schools (F.O.O.B.S.) and are used to support local schools and children. The description focuses on the event format, distance options, community support, and the charitable purpose of the proceeds. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
