Dinton 5km & 10km Summer Series
The summer really isn't complete at Barnes Fitness without our infamous 5km & 10km Summer Series and we are SO excited to bring it back for the 15th year.
A friendly series over 4 months of 5km/10km and 2km kids run around Dinton Pastures, welcoming runners of ALL abilities. You don't have to run all events in the series to be a "Series Runner" - but it is better value for money if you enter the whole series in advance, and it makes you more likely to show up!!!!

The course is a lovely off-road, traffic-free route around Dinton Pastures Country Park, near Reading. 5km option is a 1 lap course, 10km option you go round the course twice!! Either way, it’s pancake flat and if you enter more than one race you’ve a great chance of seeing your course record come down month by month!
The kids 2km race (open to those aged 4 - 14), held 30 minutes prior to the start of the 5km/10km race is an out and back course with children always in sight of a marshal.
