The Friends of Sherborne School are delighted to be hosting another renewal of our 5 Mile All Terrain Run and Fun Run, in conjunction with the National Trust through the beautiful parkland of the Sherborne Estate.

This year our event will include two separate races starting at the school, with a 2.4k Fun Run beginning at 10.00am and a 5 Miler Race at 11.00am.  

The Fun Run is for children and families (suitable for all-terrain buggies), to enjoy running a circuit around the ‘Pleasure Grounds’ within the walls of the Sherborne Estate.

The 5-Miler Race involves a combination of tracks and trails through woodland and open country with stunning scenery. As always we are hugely thankful to LuSH Timing who have supported us year on year with this event and will be providing chipped timing for the 5 Mile Race with full results and timings posted after the race. 

This is the school’s major fundraising event, and the school children are already planning what entertainments and refreshments are to be offered in the playground both before and after the races.  It is hoped that a record number of runners will come and join us this year to help us celebrate the school's 200th Anniversary!  

There are medals awarded to all runners in both races, as well as a host of prizes to the various category winners. 

Friends of Sherborne School is a registered charity, (reg no. 1075256), and this event would not able to go ahead without the help and support of the National Trust, Bourton Road Runners, LuSH Timing and our other generous sponsors. We thank you all.
