The Festival Run 2019

[Wurzelcat]

I'm only in Bristol so not too far for me, don't think I'd go for it if I had a long way to travel.

I'm volunteering with Oxfam this year so will have to see what my shifts are before I can see if the on-site run is possible

Would love to give it a go, but i can't bring myself to join in to the run that happens during the festival and doubt i'd be in any state to; and a 4 hour drive to Somerset just for a 10k also seems a bit far for me. Maybe one day

Please email thefestivalrun@gmail.com for info on this.

Just entered this yesterday, does anyone know the route? Not looking forward to the hills, the traipse up to the stone circle is hard enough just walking

now that I am home from what ppasses for employment, I have found the maps from the last run. 2019 will be about the same, allowing for livestock and general farmy bits. 

10K

5k

2k

Aw I didn't know this was a thing! It's probably a bit far for me to travel but I might try i our one year.

Good Luck to all of those who are going to do it!

Like our Facebook page or twitter -  “ the festival run” - for updates or keep an eye out for posts on the thread here on eFestivals. We are full this year. We have 750 runners. We are only allowed to do this event every other year, so 2021 will be your next chance. Plenty of time to get some training in.

If anyone would like a morning on Worthy Farm and get a nice warm fuzzy feeling of helping some charities then we are looking for volunteers to help on the day of the run. It would be approximately from 9am to 1. If you can help please email us at:

thefestivalrun@gmail.com

we’d love to see you on the farm.

Right then. Are we all going to be racing around the course, or can we take it a bit steady?! I reckon my 10k will take at least 1.5hrs. Also I'm really hoping my gammy knee holds up!

Look forward to meeting you. Here's hoping we get weather like today. It was a glorious run down on the farm today.

Why not hold this during the festival? Would be much better.

Is this a serious question ?

Yes. Would be a fun thing for both spectators and participants during the early stages of the festival.

Put the start and finish at entry and exit points and use light fencing (easily removed after the run and stewards round the route points and they wouldn't. I mean I'm being semi serious: it would be an expensive logistical nightmare to actually do this I get that.

If you wanna organise it , fill yer boots mate. Good luck.

Really looking forward to volunteering its a bit like a glastonbury reunion and efestivals meet rolled into one as a bonus on top of the money being made by the dedicated runners and walkers and organisers!
