The Kintbury 5
The Kintbury 5 is a five mile run organized by the Kintbury St Mary's Primary School PTA with the support of local runners. All profits help to raise funds for Kintbury St Mary's Primary School, providing vital resources to support the children in their learning and development.
This is fun and friendly run on quiet roads and tracks around Inkpen and Kintbury near Hungerford, including by kind permission, some private roads. Suitable for all abilities. The races starts and finishes at Kintbury Recreation Ground behind the Jubilee Centre (RG17 9TU).
The race is registered with ARC (Association of Running Clubs), permit number 22/253. We ask our runners to not wear any in-ear or over-ear headphones to reduce any risks. Bone conducting headphones are still allowed but we request that you keep volume levels to a minimum so that you are able to hear marshall instructions clearly. Roads are still open to traffic. No dogs permitted. Running buggies are welcome however please be aware that some of the terrain through the woods and off-road can be rough and sometimes muddy and we request that you kindly start at the back.
Refreshments including tea & coffee, a licensed bar, cakes, snacks and street food will all be available on the day for runners and supporters to enjoy! Celebrate your efforts with your friends and families after the run!
A huge thank you must go to our sponsors this year - Four Oak Cars, Hungerford Chiropractic & Physiotherapy Healthcare, The Dundas Arms and The Hungerford Printing Company.
