The 12th Silsoe Stride will be run on 29th June 2025.

Entry is now available using the link above to Active Training World

The Silsoe Stride is set within the magnificent grounds of Wrest Park and neighbouring farmland. This provides for a very scenic 5K and 10K race, ideal for runners of all abilities including those new to running, with a gently undulating route where you can Run, Jog or, on the 5k, Walk.

 

Within the 10K race there are a few hills, note that the 10k race is for those over 15 years old and is NOT suitable for walkers.  The 5k race is for those over 7 years old and walkers and Nordic walkers are welcome.

Our fun, friendly atmosphere ensures everyone has a great time, with a popular Children’s Fun Run for those born after 29 June 2015 on the day.

 

The Children’s races, for those aged 2 years to 10 years old, vary from 100m to 1000m and children are allocated to races based on age and school year group. All finisher receive a medal. First girl and first boy in each race will also receive a trophy.

 

The Stride is organised by volunteers and groups from the village and all profits are shared to beneficiaries within the village.  In previous years over £25,000 has been shared between groups within the village.

 

This year the planning, organising and running of the Stride is being shared by Silsoe Pre-School, Silsoe Lower Football Club and Silsoe Millenium Green Trust.

 

We thank the Burton family for allowing us to race over their private farmland.

 

We much appreciate the continuing support provided by English Heritage, National Sameday the Silsoe Sports Centre and Barton Rotary Club..

 

There is plenty of space for everyone on the Wrest Park playing field and we welcome family groups to spread out. We currently plan to have a refreshments area.

 

If necessary, we will start the senior races in waves rather than en-mass and barriers should keep supporters away, but not too far, from the start / finish. Chip timing will support this.

 

There will be toilets spaced out with suitable control of access.
