YMCA Fun Run

YMCA Fun Run and Sports Festival
Sunday 4 May 2025 | Priory Park, Reigate

YMCA Fun Run & Sports Festival is back in Reigate’s Priory Park on Sunday 4 May! Join us for this inclusive running & sporting charity event.

• 1 mile adult & junior fun runs
• 5 mile adult race
• YMCA Fun Run technical t-shirt and medal for all runners
• Free event photos
• Sports Festival showcasing local sports clubs and lots of food and event stalls!

You don’t have to be fast (although there are prizes for those that are!), the main aim is getting the community out and taking part! The adult 5 mile race follows a loop on local lanes whilst the adult and junior 1 mile fun runs stay within the grounds of the beautiful Priory Park in Reigate.

All participants receive an exclusive YMCA race technical t-shirt and commemorative medal.

So gather your family, friends and colleagues and join us for a fun-filled day out in Priory Park. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just looking for a fun day out, there’s something for everyone at the YMCA Fun Run & Sports Festival.

Working in partnership with Reigate & Banstead Borough Council, there will be plenty of food and drinks stalls as well as a climbing wall and soft archery with free access funded by the council. The Sports Festival welcomes local sports clubs who will be offering free tasters of their sports, with a central arena hosting displays – making this the perfect family day out for everyone to enjoy and try something new.

All children will receive an activity passport in their race number packs. Collect stamps by taking part in different sporting activities and you can collect a free prize on the day!

Our event village will be packed with food and drink stall serving tasty treats and refreshments.
