The Robertsbridge Midsummer 10k & 5k returns for 2025 and it promises to be fizzing with racing delight, community spirit & family fun!
This is a partner race

Event Overview:
The Robertsbridge Bonfire Society return to present another wonderful instalment of their much-loved Midsummer 10k & 5k race around the pretty East Sussex village of Robertsbridge. This is a community affair and has a race for all the family to enjoy. It boasts fantastic local support with some super volunteer marshals to cheer and guide the runners throughout the race. And, let's not forget to mention the mouth-watering BBQ that will keep you racing fit and your tastebuds crackling in delight. Resonating with some proper summer evening vibes, there is also a bar available for post-race re-hydration!
The race is open to runners of all abilities and is an ideal opportunity for those who are looking to complete their first 5k or 10k, or for more seasoned runners looking to stretch their legs along a beautiful course and enjoy some race day vibes with the locals!
