Silsoe Stride
The Silsoe Stride is an annual community running event set within the grounds of Wrest Park and neighbouring farmland in Silsoe. The 13th edition takes place on 28 June 2026 and features routes that pass Burton Farm and extend into the surrounding countryside. Both race routes start and finish at Wrest Park.
Distances:
- Adult 10K, multi-terrain route through Wrest Park and surrounding countryside
- Adult 5K, scenic route through the estate; walkers and Nordic walkers welcome
- Children's races, distances from 100m to 1,000m, ages 2 to 10; medals for finishers
The adult 10K is a multi-terrain course that includes a few hills and is not suitable for walkers. The 5K is described as gently undulating and is open to running, jogging, and walking. Children's races are allocated by age and school year group.
The event is organised by volunteers and local village groups. For the 2026 edition planning and running is shared by Silsoe Pre-School, Silsoe Lower Football Club, Silsoe Cubs and Scouts and Silsoe Millennium Green Trust. Profits are shared among beneficiaries within the village; previous editions have distributed over £28,000 to local groups.
Supporters named for the event include National Sameday, English Heritage, Silsoe Sports Centre, Barton Rotary Club and Wrest Park manor house, Silsoe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
