The Stover School Fun Run offers participants of all ages an opportunity to enjoy a safe and measured 1-mile course within the scenic grounds of Stover School. Scheduled for 10:15 AM, this beloved community event welcomes runners who are eager to experience a family-friendly race that is both fun and accessible. For safety reasons, children under four years old must be accompanied by an adult throughout the run, ensuring they receive the necessary support during their participation. Additionally, due to space constraints on site, pushchairs or prams cannot be accommodated in this event. Participants can look forward to a warm welcome at Stover School, which strictly prohibits dogs from entering its premises for everyone's safety and comfort. Race day will also feature race numbers available for collection at the Race HQ upon arrival, providing runners with all necessary information as they prepare for their run. Sponsored by various local businesses and organizations, this event is sanctioned under the Association of Running Clubs (ARC) with permit number 26/0363, ensuring a well-organized and enjoyable experience. Runners will be notified via email closer to race day with additional details such as route maps and logistical information. Join us at Stover School for an engaging morning filled with community spirit and the joy of running in a welcoming environment. Please note that dogs are not allowed on site, and children under four must be accompanied by an adult.
