Event overview

The Hardwick X-Stream takes place on 22 March 2026 in the village of Hardwick, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. The event is limited to 300 runners and is organised by Bearbrook Running & Triathlon Club. The course is set entirely within Manor House Farm and is licensed as an EA cross-country event (permit approved, number pending).

The course is suitable for spikes. Parking adjacent to the start/finish is weather dependent and very limited. Portable toilets and limited changing facilities are available in the village hall; there are no showers. Water will be provided at the finish, and hot drinks and food will be available in the village hall.
