We are delighted to welcome the return of the hugely popular Run Frimley on Sunday 5th May 2024. The event has always attracted a strong community following with over 1,000 runners taking part year on year. Following the success of 2023, the event is comprised of a challenging Closed Road 5k and 10k race (featuring chip timing for all participants) and our 1 mile ‘colourful’ family fun run. This will improve your overall running experience providing a consistent running surface throughout to help you reach those PB’s and above all delivers maximum safety for our runners.
Routes coming soon…
We have an amazing event village, so there is something for everyone. To keep the little one’s entertained, there will be face painters, games, activities, performers and more. The whole event will also be complimented with music, plenty of stalls to browse around and many delicious caterers to enjoy. All carefully handpicked to ensure our guests enjoy their time at the event.
Both routes are now wheelchair and pushchair friendly and we will also have dedicated cheer points out on the route to help push you along and give you that added boost, all adding to a fantastic and unique running experience of Run Frimley.
The course will stay within the grounds of the event village which means everyone can watch and cheer loudly to all those taking part. What is even more exciting is that we are making this event super colourful and will need your help too! They’ll be powdered paint just as you will have seen at other colour runs and bubbles for all the runners to enjoy and embrace as you run together. Where we need your help is to add even more colour. We want to see the wackiest, craziest, and the most colourful runners we ever seen!
As we want this to be the whole family taking part together, we are also giving free entry to the fun run to anyone who takes part in either the 10k or 5k race. The 10k and 5k race will start and finish before the start of the fun run, just so we don’t add any tired legs to the main event, so really, you have no excuse! Please note, there will be a limited number of medals available for this route.
Get that face paint on, dust out that ultraviolet top, put on those shorts you’ve always been told you can’t wear outside the house! Bring the colour, bring the laughter and most of all, bring the fun!
The day will start with the 10k at 09:30am followed by the 5k at 09:45am and then finally the fun run at 11:30am. Please stick around post event to enjoy the event village and clap those at the trophy presentation around midday. *Cut off: Please note, anyone out on the 5K & 10K route after 11.30am will be picked up by our sweeper vehicle*
Entry for the 10K is £22.00, £17.00 for the 5K and £12.00 for the Fun Run. A £36 family entry (2 adults & 2 children) will also be available for the Fun Run.
5K & 10K entry fee includes: exciting routes, bespoke medal, chip timing, free entry into the Fun Run, refreshments, event village and more!

In December 2022 Brooke’s Nephew Vincenzo was born earlier than expected: “I cannot begin to imagine myself what the days, weeks and months ahead would have been like, but what I do know, is, the Neonatal Unit at Frimley Hospital supported Claudia, Sam and little Vincenzo on a road to recovery, allowing them to finally take their little soldier home. In honour of the amazing care and support they gave to those close to my heart I felt honoured to run and give back raising £2610 for the Neonatal Unit that cared for Vincenzo” – Brooke
Dementia is often misunderstood. There are many misconceptions, and we all need to learn different techniques to communicate better to those people and families living with dementia.
We want to lead the way in acute hospital care. Now you can support us in our vision – to set the national standard for excellence in patient safety, quality and continuous improvement for people living with dementia.
