One Month until 2026 Races!

There is less than a month to go until Run Barns Green 2026.  This year’s event takes place on Sunday 27^th September and will be made up of 4 races giving runners of all ages and abilities a chance to take part and get their hands on a bronze, silver or even gold medal.

As well as the Half Marathon race, now in its 44th year, there will be a 10k race and a 5K race for those runners who don’t want to take on the longer race distances. Also, there will once again be a fun clour run and a non colour run for 4-11 year olds, which will take place at 12.30pm on the Green on race day.

Run Barns Green is organised entirely by volunteers and all the surplus funds are given to the various societies, organisations and sports clubs who help out with car parking, marshalling, manning water stations, handing out medals, catering and various other roles.

The three adult races follow routes on closed roads through the lanes of Barns Green, Itchingfield, Dragons Green, and through the magnificent grounds of Christ’s Hospital School taking in some of the most scenic countryside in West Sussex.

Once again, the official race charity will be St Catherine’s Hospice who do such wonderful work in the local area and who Run Barns Green are delighted to be able to support. 

This year a food village has been developed to give a bigger and wider range of food throughout the day. There is plenty of free car parking close to the race start and finish and for all runners, there is a warm up exercise routine prior to all the races including the Junior race.  For the adult races there is chip timing for each runner as well as pacers who will help runners to achieve their target finish time. All finishers in the four races will receive a medal as a momento of their achievement with gold, silver and bronze medals up for grabs in the adult races.

Its's not too late to register!
