Burnham Beeches Half Marathon & 10K
The Burnham Beeches Half Marathon and 10K offers a choice of two distances, both on a mix of closed roads and hard-surfaced paths through the cool shade of the Burnham Beeches ancient woodland in South Bucks. It’s the perfect setting for a summer half marathon or 10K.
This year is the 45th running of the event. By popular demand the course will again be run in reverse (clockwise direction) offering a new twist to this very popular race. The Half marathon starts at 9:15 am and the 10k at 9:30 am.
We will be minimising the use of plastics and urge runners to please bring your own water bottles, which can be filled from taps in the race village before and after the event. There will be no finisher shirt again this year which enables us to keep costs down and again minimise the environmental impact of the event. Finishers will be presented with a unique commemorative medal which is part of an interlinking set of medals including our Beaconsfield 5 and Cliveden Classic.
There will be three water stations on the course with water available from cups and jugs for refilling your bottles.
Runners must be at least 18 years old on the day of the race to enter. The races are unsuitable for wheelchairs and no runners may be accompanied by a cyclist, pushchair or dog. The usual EA race rules apply and runners are only permitted to wear approved (bone conducting) headphones while running. There will be a cut-off time of 3 hours for the Half Marathon after which time any runner still on the course will be advised that they continue on their own at their own risk.

We are hopeful that the event will be able to go ahead without disruption, but if we need to cancel, the entry fee is non-refundable. Deferrals to 2027 will not be accepted, but applications to transfer to another Burnham Joggers race in 2026 may be considered by the Race Directors of the relevant races.
