It's the summer race you've been waiting for!
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
This means that we are working with a host partner organisation and provide timing and/or race management services for their event. 

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!

Courtesy of The Green Wood Craftsman, there will balso be a Junior Run taking place before the start of the main race to inspire our younger racers! Pre entries to the Junior Run are available below but entries will also be available on the day from our registration team at Race HQ. We hope that you'll join us in cheering them across the finish line with great gusto! All finishers of the Junior run will receive a medal and a packet of Haribos.
