Join the Fun at the Castle Bytham 5K Community Run!

Online Entry is now closed - you can sign up in person tomorrow morning; registration opens from 09:00 to 09:45. We can take contactless payment, I look forward to seeing you!

Prepare for a scenic 5K run through the open countryside at beautiful Castle Bytham! Our course takes you along grassy trails and rustic farm tracks, with friendly marshals guiding. Please note the route isn't suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs, and some parts are only accessible for the event, thanks to our generous landowners.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome. Please keep your furry friends on a short, non-retractable leash, and feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about accessibility. We're here to help!

We want you to know that your personal information is safe with us; we'll only use it to manage the event. Remember that your name and age might appear in results emails, texts, or newspapers, but we'll keep your contact details private.

Young Runners Welcome!

We love having kids under 11 join the fun! Just ensure a parent or guardian grants permission and an adult (parent, guardian, or designated adult) signs up to run alongside them. To register your junior runner, follow these steps:

1. The accompanying adult signs up on Entry Central.
2. Add the young runner to the adult's profile.
3. Provide the adult's contact details when registering the young runner.

There might be a short delay while we check the accompanying adult's registration, but we'll confirm your spot soon!

Check the main Festival event page for full details of the Festival and our Facebook Page for run updates, and let's prepare to run together at the Castle Bytham Midsummer Festival!
