About the Event

Held on April 29, 2026, the Run for the Trees 10K offers participants a scenic route through Westonbirt, Gloucestershire. Organised by the National Arboretum, this charity run supports the conservation efforts of the arboretum while providing runners with a memorable experience.

The event features a variety of races, including a Half Marathon, 5km, and 1 Mile Fun Run, all designed to promote environmental awareness and community involvement.

Why Medals Matter

Medals are more than just a token of participation; they are a cherished keepsake that symbolises the effort and dedication of each runner. They offer participants a tangible memory of their achievement and the event's unique atmosphere.

Medal Design Details

The Run for the Trees 10K medal is crafted from responsibly sourced wood, shaped into a classic round design. It features intricate engravings of leaves, symbolising the arboretum's dedication to nature. The green ribbon, made from recycled polyester, perfectly complements the event's environmental ethos.

This traditional design not only celebrates the runners' accomplishments but also reinforces the event's commitment to sustainability and conservation.
