For the 3rd year, Run Silchester shall be hosting a charity 2hr running event.

Sunday 23rd Aug.

Registration 9.15 am

Run start 10 am

Silchester playing field.

Teams of 8 runners will be running in relay for 2 hours around a ~250 mtr grass track. No medals, no trophies but we do ask all teams to donate a minimum of £50 to a Just Giving page for Parkinson’s UK.
The challenge is to see if any team can run a marathon (26.2 miles) in that time.

It was great fun last year and easily the best running interval session you will do all year! We have a very limited number of spaces available, however, if you would like to enter a team please leave a message and we will get back to you.



This event will form part of the village charity fund raising day.

Thank you so much to everyone who came along to Run Silchester 2026. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day. The sun was shining, the Silchester Village Market was full of energy, the children were loving the Entertainer, and the whole village felt alive. It truly was a wonderful community day from start to finish.

We want to express our deepest thanks to every volunteer and sponsor who helped make this event possible. Run Silchester simply wouldn’t happen without the incredible dedication of so many people — from our Marshalls, Registration team, Catering and Bar crews, Silchester Running Groups, the Silchester Association, and all the Event Organisers. Your time, enthusiasm, and hard work are what turn this event into something special each year, and we are so grateful.

A huge congratulations to every single participant who took part in yesterday’s races. It turned into quite a warm day, yet we saw so many people achieving personal bests, others just enjoying a relaxed run, and many taking on their very first race — from the youngest runners to the most experienced. You should all be incredibly proud. Full race results are now available on the chip timing website:

Thank you again for being part of such a memorable day. Run Silchester is, at its heart, a celebration of community — and it’s all of you who make it what it is.

Every pound raised on the day goes directly towards supporting the maintenance and ongoing work of the Silchester Sports Pavilion, helping us continue to provide a welcoming, community‑run space for sport, activity, and togetherness.
