Westonbirt Arboretum Saturday Summer 2026

The event takes place on Saturday 5 September 2026 at Westonbirt Arboretum, Tetbury, GL8 8QS. The arboretum is described as the National Arboretum and contains over 2,500 species of tree, including five national collections and examples of rare trees from around the world.

Routes run through different areas dedicated to specific tree species. The terrain is described as firm underfoot, more akin to a solid road surface than loose trail, while still passing through arboretum paths and planted areas. The venue also offers activities aimed at children and a family-friendly setting.

Available distances for participants include:

  • 1 Mile
  • 5 km
  • 10 km with multiple wave entries
