KESGRAVE 5K FUN RUN

This year's Kesgrave 5k Fun Run will be held on Sunday 4th May 2025. Kesgrave 5k is a community Fun Run around Kesgrave and Grange Farm to raise funds for St Elizabeth Hospice and other local charities. Please submit your application forms early as we will have limited spaces available.

This year we have partnered with the St Elizabeth Hospice website to offer online payments (so no more bank transfers!!). Due to the ever-increasing cost of organising the Fun Run we have decided to raise the entry cost by £1 per entry + there is a small Service Charge introduced for the online payment. This is the first increase in our 17-year history of organising the event so I hope everyone understands that we strive to maximise our donation to the Hospice while also needing to cover the costs. The Hospice will also benefit from GIFT AID this year and every runner will automatically be offered a Fundraising webpage with the Hospice to make raising sponsorship simple.

Can we say a big thank you again to the SPARK committee for their continued fundraising support over the past 17 years. Please visit their website for more information on the fantastic support they offer organisations in Kesgrave providing Sport, recreation and other leisure activities for Kesgrave’s residents (SPARK - Registered Charity - 1077587)

So 2025 will be our 17th year organising the Fun Run and we also want thank everybody who has participated, volunteered and donated their time and money in helping us to raise over £40,000 from this event alone. Thank you.

This event is always a fun, relaxed and well supported where all finishers receive a medal and a cheer as they cross the line. Fancy dress is encouraged 😉 however there is no theme this year but if you want to dress up to celebrate VE day, or 80's disco or be a Superhero the choice is yours! There will be prizes for the best kids fancy dress over the line.
