Amberwood Amble

Join us for an unprecedented virtual experience this October 2026 as we launch our inaugural Amberwood Amble. This half marathon (13.1 miles or 21.1 kilometers) offers participants the flexibility to walk, run, or wheel at their own pace and convenience throughout the month of October.
The event supports Amberwood Animal Sanctuary in Oxfordshire by encouraging runners from all walks of life to contribute towards a worthy cause while enjoying an engaging challenge tailored just for them. Participants can complete the half marathon distance on any route they choose either as one continuous effort or spread out over multiple sessions, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to participate comfortably.
Upon registration at £15 per entrant, you'll have the option of receiving a bespoke wooden Amberwood medal upon completion and submission of your results through Total Race Timing. Your entry fee includes this personalized reward if selected; however, should participants opt out of the medal, more funds will go directly towards supporting the sanctuary.
Your finishing time must be logged on the Total Race Timing website by November 2026 once you have completed the required distance. Medals will then be dispatched to those who chose them after this period.
Safety is paramount during participation in the Amberwood Amble. Under-16 participants are welcome but should always be accompanied by an adult guardian for supervision and support throughout their journey towards achieving the 13.1-mile goal. Participants are advised to wear Hi-Viz clothing if near roads or crossing paths with vehicular traffic, especially when visibility is low.
The Amberwood Amble invites individuals of all ages and abilities to embrace this unique opportunity to give back while engaging in physical activity that suits their personal preferences best. Whether you're a seasoned runner looking for another notch on your belt or someone new to the sport seeking motivation and community support, there's no better way than joining forces with like-minded supporters committed to making a difference through movement.
