Robertsbridge Midsummer 10K & 5K

View all races for Jun 2027

Enjoy a summer evening of running at the Robertsbridge Midsummer 10K & 5K, a popular community event set in the picturesque East Sussex countryside. Organised by Robertsbridge Bonfire Society, this friendly race welcomes runners of all abilities, from experienced athletes looking for a competitive challenge to newcomers tackling their first 5K or 10K.

Starting and finishing at Robertsbridge Recreation Ground, both distances follow single-lap routes through the village and surrounding countryside. The undulating courses combine country roads, trails and footpaths, with gentle climbs, downhill stretches and some uneven surfaces adding to the challenge. Tree roots and potentially muddy sections require careful footing, while the attractive rural scenery provides plenty to enjoy along the way.

With its enthusiastic volunteer marshals, fantastic local support and relaxed midsummer atmosphere, the Robertsbridge event offers much more than just a race. A dedicated junior run gives younger participants the opportunity to join the fun, while a barbecue and post-race bar add to the community celebrations. Combining scenic running with a welcoming village atmosphere, this is an enjoyable event for the whole family.
