Saxmundham 5 mile Sunday, 5th October 2026

The Saxmundham 5 Mile is a chip-timed, multi-terrain race held at Carlton Park Sports Pavilion in Saxmundham. The main race is for runners aged 15 and up. Younger children can participate in fun runs on the sports field: approximately 1 km for ages 8 and under, and approximately 2 km for ages 9 to 14. The course begins on the sports field, follows footpaths and off-road sections around Carlton Park, goes out towards Brook Farm Road and Kelsale, and finishes back on the field. Awards are given to the top three men and women, age-group winners, and the first male and female teams. All main-race finishers receive a memento, and all junior finishers receive a medal.
