Welcome to Revesby Running Festival – Sunday 19th July 2026
Where every step is a celebration, every runner is valued, and the challenge is yours to define.
Back for 2026, the Revesby Running Festival promises another unforgettable day of running set against the stunning backdrop of the private Revesby Estate. With glowing reviews from 2025—praising our friendly atmosphere, top-tier organisation, supportive marshals, and medals worth running for—you can expect the same exceptional experience that has runners coming back year after year.
Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your running journey, this festival has something for everyone. From the stuuning deer park, to the mixed-terrain trails and scenic woodland paths, every course is carefully designed to be both rewarding and memorable.
The headline act?
Our Challenge the Estate – a one-of-a-kind 10-stage endurance test that pushes both mind and body. Runners complete each stage within a time limit to move on. Make it through all 10 stages and you’ll earn serious bragging rights and one of the toughest accolades in the UK running scene. But this event isn’t about beating others—it’s about discovering what you’re capable of.
And back by popular demand in 2026: the Team Challenge (2-4 per team). Enter as a squad of friends, clubmates, or colleagues, and see how far you can go together. Whether you're working to all complete 10 stages or simply supporting each other along the way, the team atmosphere adds a powerful dynamic to the experience—and the celebrations.
If you're after something more classic, we’ve got you covered. Choose from our popular 5K, 10K, or Half Marathon distances—no cut-offs, no pressure. Just great routes, great people, and a finish line experience you’ll love.
With its deer-dotted parkland, epic scenery, and an event village full of energy, Revesby Running Festival is more than just a race—it’s a day out you’ll remember.

Challenge The Estate
10 Separate 5Ks. One Incredible Day.
See How Far YOU Can Go
Challenge The Estate is unlike any other running event.
Whether your goal is to complete one stage or all ten, this event is about setting your own challenge and discovering just how far you can go.
There is no expectation to complete every stage.
Some runners may aim for two or three stages. Others may push themselves to five, six or even all ten.
Every stage you complete is a MASSIVE achievement.
How Does It Work? Well it's simple:
🏃 Run a 5K stage. ⏱ Recover. 💭 Decide whether you want to continue. 🔁 Repeat.
Every stage starts at a set time throughout the day, giving you the opportunity to recover, refuel and prepare before deciding whether to tackle the next one.
The faster you complete each stage, the more recovery time you'll have before the next start. If you decide you've achieved your goal, simply stop. Your challenge is complete.

Going Solo?
Take on the challenge entirely on your own. It's just you against the course, the clock and your own limits. Whether you complete one stage or all ten, you'll have taken on one of the most unique endurance events around.
Entering as a Team?
Challenge The Estate is even better with friends. Teams of 2-4 runners work together to complete all ten stages.
Simply decide who runs each stage.
One runner may take on a single stage, another in the team may complete four in a row—it's entirely up to your team. As long as the nominated runner finishes each stage within the time limit, your team progresses to the next stage. There are no complicated rules. Just teamwork, strategy and a brilliant day out.
