Information for Race Entrants and Supporters Sadly we have had to cancel the Silsoe Stride on Sunday 28th June but here follows more
The Silsoe Stride is set within the magnificent grounds of Wrest Park and neighbouring farmland. This provides for a very scenic 5K and 10K race, ideal for runners of all abilities including those new to running, with a gently undulating route where you can Run, Walk or Jog. Within the 10K race there are a few hills. Our fun, friendly atmosphere ensures everyone has a great time, with a popular Children’s Fun Run also on the day.
The Children’s races vary from 100m to 1000m and children are allocated to races after discussion with parents. All finisher receive a medal. First girl and first boy in each race will also receive a trophy.
The Stride is organised by volunteers and groups from the village and all profits are shared to beneficiaries within the village. In 2019 we made a profit of just over £4,000. This has been shared between the Silsoe Village Hall, Silsoe Lower School PTA, Silsoe Pre-school, Silsoe Millennium Green Trust, Silsoe Cricket Club, Silsoe School Football Club and Silsoe Carpet Bowls Club. All of these groups were involved in the planning, organising and running of the Stride. For 2020 they are joined by the newly formed Silsoe Scout Group.
We regret to announce that the eight Silsoe Stride has been cancelled because of the Covid-19 epidemic.
We hope to arrange the Stride in 2021.
Those who have already entered the Stride will be contacted with offer of free entry in 2021 or entry refund.
