Berkhamsted Rotary 5 mile Fun Run 2023
05 March 2023
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN
Five Mile Fun Run
The Five Mile Fun Run is a very popular event with local runners - especially family teams, local schools and community groups who raise sponsorship for their own charitable causes. Sharing a part of the Half Marathon route through beautiful countryside, finishing the Fun Run gives a great sense of achievement.
Full details of the event are shown at www.berkorun.com
The Organisers
The event is promoted by the Rotary Club of Berkhamsted who aim to organise a successful and challenging Half Marathon event, together with an interesting 5 mile fun run. Over the years this Rotary event has directly raised more than £250,000 for various charities.
Race Information
The start is at Berkhamsted Cricket Club which is close to Berkhamsted Railway Station.
Your entry helps Rotary raise funds for two local care organisations, the Pepper Foundation and the Hospice of St Francis and for many other local and Rotary charities.
You can also raise money for your own preferred charity by getting personal or team sponsorship. We'll recognise the most successful fundraiser (across the two events - Half Marathon and Fun Run), so be sure to let us know your fundraising plans by ticking the relevant box on the entry form.
