Run Henham | 5K

Run Henham is a brand new running event for 2024. There will be a 5km run, a 10km run and a 1km fun run which is open to people of all ages. All of the runs will take place across the breathtakingly beautiful private country park. Runners are invited to run either the 5km loop, the 10km loop or just the 1km fun run, which is open to people of all ages and will take place after the long distance running events have concluded. The site will be equipped with food trucks, service hot and cold snacks as well as a coffee van serving hot drinks to keep any spectators warm and fed while the runners complete the course. Henham park is a stunning natural country park and plays host to the annual Latitude festival as well as the Henham Steam Rally. Each year thousands of people descend onto the park for those two events alone. It’s also an extremely popular place for people to hold their weddings, with the iconic bridge providing the perfect backdrop for unique photographs. This event offers a rare opportunity for runners to access the park and explore the vast natural expanse which sits just next to Southwold on the beautiful Suffolk Coast. Both the 5km race and the 10km race will be chip-timed, so runners will receive an accurate race time along with their unique medal, water and snacks for completing the races. It is also worth noting that all three distances are trail runs because of the natural surfaces underfoot.
