Brentford Sports FEST routes

Running Events:

The 3k & 5k course (looped for 10k), takes you through the stunning grounds of the Duke of Northumberland’s private gardens within Syon Park, which are normally closed to the public.

The course is a mixture of trail, path, meadow and parkland. Make sure you lace up your jogging shoes, as there are some stretches of the course that pass over rough ground and open meadow.

Walk and Talk:

The 5k Walk & Talk event is designed to highlight awareness of mental health issues. Exercise and friendship are two fantastic ways to support everyone’s mental health and wellbeing.

Together in partnership with the West London Mental Health Trust, the Walk and Talk event is a fun way to ensure a healthy lifestyle and increased wellbeing can be achieved by everyone.

1K Primary School Challenge:

The ever-popular 1K race gives young people the opportunity to take part in this fantastic event. Get involved with one of the biggest running events in West London.

The school that recruits the largest number of entrants, will be rewarded with a visit from a Brentford FC 1st XI player.

Water Sports

Brentford Sportsfest are offering the unique chance to try out some water sports. With the help of Active 360 and Team Keane, you can get involved with stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking.

    Did the 5K in 2018

    The set up and activities surrounding the race were really impressive. Such a shame it wasnt advertised locally as turnout looked to be quite low.We didnt realise the SUP you had to register beforehand and it wasnt near the event with no signage on where to go.The running course wasnt as I thought it would be, with all the beautiful grounds at Syon it felt like the run was on the outskirts. Course wasnt great either. Very narrow spaces for runners at the start. Potholes! I managed to sprain my ankle.At the end there was no sign of St. Johns ambulance? Or medical tent.I eventually asked someone if there were any ice packs, was given one with no interest in the fact Id injured myself.Such a shame as it promised to be a fantastic event and family day out which meant parents could run whilst kids amused themselves.Please sort the course out and use all of the scenic gardens and advertise it locally.

    Did the 10K in 2018

    I can't fault this as a race. It was low key and very relaxed with one of the smaller fields I've run in for such an event! And what a location!! One of the prettiest and most interesting routes I've ever done for a 10k I think. Plus a goodie bag which I wasn't expecting for such a low entry price - and the coffee and refreshments available to buy were excellent and very good value for money. I don't often run trail routes but this was a very nice one...there were plenty of warnings about inevitable holes and ruts...plus very sensibly on such a hot day, water was made available at a couple of points. I don't normally like 'loop' courses but there was so much to keep you interested going round I didn't notice the repetition of the route. I really cannot fault the whole experience so thank you!
