The Emmer Green 5k, 10k and mini-oak challenge will be held at 9am on Sunday 18th April 2027.

The events are organised to raise vital funds for Emmer Green Primary School.

EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION OPEN UNTIL NOVEMBER 30th 2026

10k: Starting and finishing at Emmer Green Primary School, the 10k chip timed run is a multi-terrain course along quiet country lanes and footpaths through the beautiful South Oxfordshire countryside.

5k: The 5k chip timed run follows the same multi-terrain corse set for the 10k until the 3km mark, where the course splits, taking 5k runners along a quiet lane and public footpath before re-joining the 10k course just before the 9km mark. 

Mini-oak challenge: The mini-oak challenge enables those under 12 to take part, running or walking as many (or as few) laps of the school field as they would like (up to a maximum of 33 laps). 

See the events page for route maps. 

Volunteers: We are always in need of volunteers to help with marshalling, if you would like to get involved (or have a willing, non-running partner/friend) please do get in touch through the ‘contact us’ page.

Race start time: There will be a pre-race warm-up which will take place close to the start line at 08:45am, straight after the race briefing. Both the 5k and 10K runs start at 9:00 am.

The Mini-Oak Challenge will start at 9:15am, following a warm-up which will take place after the 10K and 5k runners have left the school field.
