This year’s Chew Valley 10k will take place on Sunday 11th June at 9.30am. New for 2023, local businesses Winford Ford and Truespeed have teamed up to be the main sponsors for this popular 10km race, which is open to anyone aged fifteen and older.

The Chew Valley 10k is a chip-timed, UK Athletics licenced event with a range of race categories. All runners will get a free professional photo to download and the race offers facilities such as free kit storage and free parking.

Those wishing to enter can do so via the race’s website. Entrants will get a Chew Valley 10k 2023 t-shirt and medal. The event is set up to fundraise for various charities and this year will be supporting Blood Bikes NICU Support, Bishop Sutton Primary School Society, Chew Valley School Society and Chew Valley Plants Trees.

The race is on a beautiful, rural route with undulating lanes and has closed roads at the start and finish and minimal traffic. Support from the locals is always a highlight, as are the teas and cakes at the finish provided by Bishop Sutton Pre-School and Forest Club.

Denise Mellersh, race director commented: “We are thrilled to welcome Winford Ford and Truespeed on board as joint sponsors – two great local businesses. Their support will enable the Chew Valley 10k to continue raising much-needed funds for the local community and our charities.”
