The festival includes a 10km (min 15 yrs) and 5km (min 13 yrs) road race, as well as a shorter run for 8-12 year olds. We're even putting on a Couch to 5k course for beginners and returners!
These popular local races returns to the traditional May slot in 2024 (after a brief spell in September as the country emerged from Covid).
The races starts in the beautiful Market Place under the gaze of two medieval gateways - the Penniless Porch and the Bishop’s Eye, and a fast and furious grandstand finish is guaranteed alongside the Bishop’s Palace moat.
* The Couch to 5k course will take place every Wednesday at 6.30pm from Wells Leisure Centre starting on Wednesday 3 April. Places are limited and cost £20 with the option to become a member of Wells City Harriers for the year. Email This email address is being protected from spambots.
