Thousands of runners and walkers have taken part in the Cotswold Way Festival - part of the UK’s biggest and best series of treks and trail runs for a wide range of ages, fitness and experience levels which raises £10+ million a year for charities!
You’ll get a fully signed route with arrows, free snacks and drinks, medal, glass of fizz and an optional hot meal to make your active fundraising challenge successful and rewarding! If you’re up for a 10K charity event this year, make it the Cirencester10K!

You’ll be amazed how much you can raise as friends and family will recognise and support your endeavours over 10K distance! All fundraising goes directly to your charity via an online JustGiving page.

Cirencester - Friday and Saturday:
A looped 10km route from the main Cirencester basecamp – taking in the wonderful surrounding countryside. Families are welcome. Walk, jog or run - it's up to you! There are no cut-offs, so come and enjoy this quality event in your local area.
You need to create your fundraising page on JustGiving within 48 hours of registering for your challenge. Then you can start your fundraising by sharing your page online with your friends and family.
As long as you’re all fundraising for the same charity, you can create a team fundraising page on JustGiving. You will still have to reach the combined total fundraising amount as the target is per person, not per team.
Speak to your charity about any worries. They are the experts and will offer you support, materials and inspiration throughout.
Remember only 50% of the target has to be reached 3 weeks before the challenge meaning you’ve got time after the challenge to impress everyone with your achievement and keep on fundraising.
If you don’t reach the fundraising target, there are alternative options. You can always change to a self-funded place and still take part in the challenge.
Once you've got your charity place, your details will be passed to the charity and you will hear from them within 14 days.
The registration fee and minimum sponsorship amount will vary depending on charity/distance chosen.
