About The Chalgrove Festival 10K

The Chalgrove Festival 10K is run in support of the annual Chalgrove Village Festival and the course is an undulating 10K single lap race through local villages and the beautiful surrounding South Oxfordshire countryside.  The start and finish is at the Chalgrove Village Festival ground and there will be a drink station just past the 5K marker.  There are plenty of spectators' points en route. All finishers will receive a free T-shirt. We are able to provide changing facilities and plenty of free parking and  in 2012 there will be improved toilet facilities, with plenty of port-a-loos available.

After the race in 2011, entrants were able to enjoy the great Chalgrove Village Festival atmosphere with activities, helicopter rides, pony rides, arena displays including The Imps Motorcycle Stunt Team, funfair, beer tent, food and many other attractions.  The attractions for 2012 will be equally exciting - making the Chalgrove Festival 10K a truly great way to spend the May Day Bank Holiday for runners and their families.
