Event overview

To kick off 2026 and begin the year positively, why not join us for our New Year's Day 5k? This event is becoming a tradition for many of you. It's an excellent way to shake off that Christmas hangover and start the year energetically by running around the beautiful trails of Bishop's Castle with friends and family. The 5k will both start and end at The Six Bells Brewery, Bishop's Castle, and the route will take you along the Shropshire Way and the adjoining trails. This event welcomes all ages and abilities and is perfect for everyone, from beginners to experienced runners. Plus, with no time limit, there's no pressure, allowing you to enjoy the route at your own pace. Shake off those New Year's Eve cobwebs, gather your friends and family, your dog, your neighbours and join us at the starting line. A fantastic family-friendly fun run to begin the New Year right! We hope to see you there.

Train slow

Low-intensity training is easier for you, reduces the risk of injury and helps builds an efficient aerobic system.

Eat natural

Cut out sugar & junk food, reduce carbs, eat natural foods and train your body to burn fat for fuel.

Get outdoors

Fresh air, natural light and reconnecting with nature all help to improve mental and physical wellbeing.
