Highbridge Jewellers’ Bourton-on-the-Water 10k

Bourton 10k - Sunday 22nd February 2026 - 9:30 am

Entries for the 2026 Bourton 10k, on Sunday 22nd February, will open Friday 2nd January 2026 and remain open until the limit of 700 is reached. Once the limit is reached, we will be offering the opportunity to join a waiting list. In previous years places have been offered to most applicants on the waiting list.

Throughout 2026, in common with recent years, we will be supporting a principal charity partner and a number of local good causes from the race proceeds as listed below.

As usual, race timing is provided by LuSH Timing , and we are planning to provide a ‘live’ results facility (i.e. subject to a strong Internet signal). As these are only temporary, they will be purged in due course. However, once the final results have been verified (normally the same day), we will provide a permanent link here to a full set of results for you to download.

Details of how to fit your time shoe chip loop can be downloaded. Please ensure that you return the timing chip to our team at the race finish area.

Please download a copy of the Runner Information document, which aims to provide you with all of the key piece of information.
