About the Hagbourne Fun Run

The Hagbourne Fun Run and Walk is an annual family friendly event which takes place on the early May bank holiday Monday. The course is 4.5 mile / 7.1 km, multi-terrain starting and ending in East Hagbourne, Oxfordshire. Mainly on footpaths and bridleways it goes via West Hagbourne, Upton and Blewbury before returning to East Hagbourne. The route includes a number of stiles and kissing gates and can be muddy & uneven in parts.

The race is followed by hot food, delicious cakes and drinks & prize giving in East Hagbourne Village Hall. The event is open to all levels and ages of runners and walkers. Dogs are welcome with walkers but not with runners. Since 1990 this event has raised thousands of pounds for cancer charities and the Hagbourne Village Fund which supports local good causes and projects.
