Route information
Run Prestwood is a road race that has taken place in the village of Prestwood since 1993. The event started as a 10k race in association with the local leisure centre and has gone on to now include a 5k fun run and, this year, now includes a children’s colour run.
Each year, hundreds of runners flock to Prestwood to run for this prestigious event. Working on their personal best timings, putting their training to the test or simply doing it for fun.
"Run Prestwood was a fantastic experience! The 10k course through the Chiltern Hills was beautiful, and the atmosphere was incredibly supportive. It felt great knowing I was running for a good cause, supporting the Chilterns Neuro Centre." - Josh, previous runner
Course routes
We have two routes through the beautiful village of Prestwood. There’s a 10k chip-timed race and a 5k fun run. Both start from Prestwood Gym and Fitness Centre and are mainly road races. We also have a children’s colour run which will also take place at Prestwood Gym and Fitness Centre.
When running, take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on the tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other runners, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
