July 26, 2026

Join us for The Alnwick Garden 5K on Sunday 26th July, in aid of our Bright Garden Appeal - a joint fundraising initiative between The Alnwick Garden and Bright Northumbria Healthcare Charity. 

Wind your way through our stunning Garden and soak up the sights, sounds, and fresh Northumberland air. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a weekend jogger, or simply in it for the fun (and the photos!), this is a 5K experience unlike any other.

Why you'll love it:


  • Unique 5K route (3 laps of The Garden)

  • Exclusive early access from 7.30am–9.30am

  • Garden admission after the run and free parking included (worth £24)

  • A fun, friendly atmosphere for all abilities (16+)

  • Plenty of photo-worthy moments

  • A finishers medal to add to your collection

  • Support The Bright Garden Appeal


Your run entry fee will help fund:

  • Community programmes that bring people together through the power of nature.

  • Opportunities for young people to build confidence, skills, and friendships.

  • Activities that tackle loneliness and support wellbeing.

  • Therapeutic green spaces that provide comfort and calm for patients, families, NHS staff, and local communities.


Bring your friends, challenge your colleagues, or rally the family and make a day of it. Whether you're chasing a PB or simply enjoying the experience, you'll be part of something truly special.
