Long Wittenham Fun Run

Long Wittenham 5km Family Fun Run & Walk 2026

This community event is a rural cross country 5km run and walk on clearly signed and marshalled footpaths around Neptune and Paradise Wood, finishing at The Plough in Long Wittenham. The route is off road through countryside and includes one road crossing that is well marshalled. A drinks station is provided about halfway along the course and first aid cover will be available.

There are category awards for boys and girls (Under 8, Under 12, Under 18) and for men and women (18-39, 40-64, 65 and over). Children under 8 must be accompanied on the course; entrants under 16 may only take part with a parent or guardian's permission. All participants over age 3 must be registered and wear a allocated race number pinned to the front.

Walkers may bring well behaved dogs on leads; the course may be suitable for sturdy buggies in dry conditions. Number cards will be reserved for advance entrants and collected on the day with safety pins provided. The event has a maximum of 250 entrants and online entries close on 12 June 2026. On-the-day entries may be accepted subject to availability at higher prices; on-the-day prices are Adults £12, Under 18s £5, Families £25.

If the organisers cancel the event, entrants will be offered a transfer to the following year, a donation option or a refund less booking fees. No refund is payable for a prepaid entrant who does not attend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
