Bodenham Bound 2025
The Race:
Join us for the exhilarating seventh annual event, kicking off 2025 in style! This year’s event is raising money for the Midlands Air Ambulance and Harkaway Scout Group.
Embark on a thrilling journey with options of either a 5km or 10km run (2 laps of the 5km course) through the stunning expanse of Bodenham Arboretum. This charity run promises a challenging, multi-terrain experience, with proceeds benefiting these two vital causes.
Situated at the convergence of three valleys, the course will have challenging hills, plenty of mud, and a few hard surfaces as you run the boundary of the arboretum.
You will get muddy!
You will get wet!
YOU WILL HAVE FUN!
