Watermore RunFest

The Watermore RunFest is here! 🎉

Thank you to everyone who took part last year — we’re excited to bring the event back and make it even bigger and better in 2026.

This year we’re also introducing a 5K option for anyone who feels the 10K might be a little too far, but still wants to get involved and support the fundraising effort. Whether you run, jog, or walk, we’d love to see you there!

Further information about the event can be found below, with full details available on the PTFA website.

Rainbow Run 🌈

Please arrive before 12:00pm to collect your wristbands.

Party Peeps will gather everyone on the Watermore playing field at midday.

The first race will start at 12:30pm. Children will be split according to year group, and there’ll be a low key, quieter rainbow run for those who’d prefer this option too.
