Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10K 12 August 2018

The Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10k offers choice of distances, both on a mix of closed roads and hard surfaced woodland paths through the cool shade of the Burnham Beeches ancient woodland in South Bucks. It’s the perfect setting for a summer half marathon or 10k.

As ever, our friendly and enthusiastic marshals will be on hand to cheer you on and to keep you hydrated as you pass the regular water stations. And at the end you can enjoy a well earned dip with special access to the Caldicott School swimming pool.

We have a fantastic chunky medal for all finishers, plus a quality technical shirt with the names of the first 1,000 entrants printed on the back. Please keep an eye on our Facebook page – we will let you know when we have reached the cut off for the 1,000 entrants.

Entry costs just £21 for the 10k for England Athletics members (£23 non members) and £27 for the half marathon (£29 non members).

Entries sold out well in advance in 2017. Entries are currently well ahead of last year’s level so very likely this event will again sell out. So if you want to ensure you get a place we recommend you don’t wait too long.

We had some fantastic reviews for the 2017 event and were nominated for the Running Awards – we are planning on making the 2018 event even better!

RUNNER’S WORLD REVIEWS – THANKS FOR THE GREAT FEEDBACK!

“I have previously taken part in the Half Marathon at Burnham Beeches. This was my first time at running the 10Kms – great – would definitely do it again. Challenging (who put those hills in the way !!!) but very enjoyable, friendly event. :-)”

“My first ever big organised event and I really enjoyed it! Usually run on my own or with one or two work colleagues, so it was a real buzz to set off with hundreds of other runners. Lovely course through the woods, plenty of shade – ideal for August – a few gentle hills but nothing too challenging, very well organised and marshalled. Loads of encouragement to keep you going! If I ever step from 10k to HM I’d like to do it here.”

“Excellent race, beautiful scenery, great organisation. Will definitely do it again.”

“Scenic 2 lap course (one lap for the 10k), lots of excellent marshalls and spectators, plenty of shade and water stops to see off the summer heat. Mostly on road with some easy trail paths… first lap is full of lovely undulating hills, which feel like steep mountains by the second lap! Some brilliant bonuses, like a swimming pool at the end, and your name on the race shirt.”
