Entries are now open for this fantastic annual event.

The 5k River Run and 1.5k Fun Run follow a largely traffic free multi-terrain route along the banks of the River Avon, starting and finishing in Monkton Park, near the Olympiad Leisure Centre.

The River Run is a great community event which attracts people of all abilities and ages. The 5k distance means that it is ideal for the beginners and the inclusion of the Fun Run makes it an ideal summer evening event for families.

Shower and changing available.

Prizes in age categories.

All Fun Run Finishers receive a medal.

River Run finishers receive a T-Shirt

The event is the target race for the Chippenham Harriers' next successful Beginners programme which starts on Friday 2nd May 2014. The 9 week programme, led by qualified UKA Leaders in Running Fitness, is aimed at people who have either run in the past and want to make a ‘running come back’ or complete beginners looking for a new activity to help get them fit. Over the 9 weeks runners build up from short run/walk sessions to running non-stop for 5k.
