Four Farms Challenge

Deddington, United Kingdom • 17 May 2026

The Deddington Four Farms Challenge

The Four Farms Challenge takes place in the parish of Deddington. This event offers multiple participation options through the local countryside, including:

  • 5k multi-terrain run
  • 10k multi-terrain run
  • 20k multi-terrain run

The routes are designed to showcase the landscape of the area. The event is open to a wide range of participants, including experienced runners and families. The courses are set within a rural environment and span across several local farms.

This event serves as a fundraising initiative for several organizations. The proceeds support three specific registered charities: the Deddington Primary School PTA, the Deddington PFSU (Pre-School and Family Support Unit), and the Fire Fighter's Charity via the Deddington Fire Station.

Participants can choose between three distinct distances depending on their preference. The event is scheduled for May 2026 and utilizes the natural terrain surrounding the village of Deddington to create a unique running environment.
