YMCA Fun Run

YMCA Fun Run and Sports Festival
Sunday 30 April 2023 | Priory Park, Reigate

We hope you had a fantastic day at the YMCA Fun Run – please save the date for next year’s event on Sunday 5 May 2024!

YMCA Fun Run & Sports Festival is back in Reigate’s Priory Park on Sunday 30 April! Join us for this inclusive running & sporting charity event.

• 1 mile adult & junior fun runs
• 5 mile adult race
• YMCA Fun Run technical t-shirt and medal for all runners
• Sports Festival showcasing local sports clubs and lots of food and event stalls!

You don’t have to be fast (although there are prizes for those that are!), the main aim is getting the community out and taking part! The adult 5 mile race follows a loop on local lanes whilst the adult and junior 1 mile fun runs stay within the grounds of the beautiful Priory Park in Reigate.

All participants receive an exclusive YMCA race technical t-shirt and commemorative sustainable wooden medal.

So gather your family, friends and colleagues and join us for a fun-filled day out in Priory Park. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun day out, there’s something for everyone at the YMCA Fun Run & Sports Festival.

Working in partnership with Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, there will be plenty of food and drinks stalls as well as climbing wall, safe archery and bouncy castle. The Sports Festival welcomes local sports clubs who will be offering free tasters of their sports, with a central arena hosting displays – making this the perfect family day out for everyone to enjoy and try something new.

All children will receive an activity passport in their race number packs. Collect stamps by taking part in different sporting activities and you can collect a free prize on the day!

Please note we have merged the Adult 1 Mile and Junior Under 16 1 Mile into one race starting at 12:00

All races are well marshalled and start on the grass to the south of Reigate Priory School. The main adult race follows a 5 mile loop around country lanes to the west of Reigate before returning to the finish at the start point in Priory Park with a water station en route. The 1 Mile races use the same start and finish as the 5 mile but stay within the park following a flat route including a clockwise lap of the pond. Free refreshments are available for all runners.

All races will be chip timed by Results Base and a link to the results will be published on this page on race day. Please note that results will be searchable by race number, name or club.
