Twyford Charity Family Fun Run, 2019

We're delighted to be back at our original venue, The Piggott School, for this year's Charity Family Fun Run. In addition to our ever popular toddler, infant and junior school races, we're introducing a new, chip timed 5km race for those aged 11+. We're also making every effort to ensure that this year's fun run is as green as possible and have a brand new fastest street competition (see below for details). The Twyford Together Fun Run is organised by Barnes Fitness in association with Twyford Together and sponsored by Mullie Ltd. The 5k is sponsored by Castle Royle.

When and where is it?

Sunday 6 October from 9am at The Piggott School. See the route for our new 5K race.

Will photos be available for free download?

Barnes Fitness' sports photographer, Chris Drew, will be taking photos this year and publishing them on Flickr for free download. Anyone who doesn't wish to have their photo published should make themselves known at registration.

Are there prizes?

We've got some fabulous new prizes this year. First male and female in the 5K will receive a one month's Castle Royle Golf & Country Club membership, second male and female get a meal voucher for The Duke of Wellington, Twyford, fastest young male and female runners (age 11-12) win a Decathlon voucher and the fastest male and female teens (aged 13-18) a Costa Coffee voucher. Decathlon has also kindly donated vouchers for the first girl and boy in the infant and junior races.
Alongside individual winners, we’ll also be giving your street the chance to be crowned the champion! Chip timing will allow us to collect race times for everyone registered to a particular street in our new 5k race. The street with the fastest cumulative time for three runners wins a £50 voucher for Binghams Brewery. It’s the ultimate neighbourhood accolade!

Will there be refreshments and entertainment?

We're planning a selection of healthy, autumnal, eco friendly stalls this year with the help of Castle Royle, Twyford Allotments and Tenants Association, Twyford and Ruscombe Horticultural Association, Twyford Toddlers, Hare Hatch Sheeplands, Refill Reading and Twyford Together's eco mums. Plus, 1st Twyford Scouts will be running a breakfast BBQ, Happy Hours Pre-school a bouncy castle and facepainting and Windsock Music's energetic saxophone group, Saxcelerate, will be playing a collection of well known pop, rock and TV themes.
