The 2026 Gibbet Challenge - Sunday 28th June
The Gibbet Challenge is a scenic 10K race in the beautiful countryside around Inkpen, West Berkshire with the ethos of having "a bit of fun combined with a bit of a challenge."
The race starts and ends at Inkpen Memorial Playing Fields with a multi-terrain route including a climb to Walbury Hill and Combe Gibbet. Race start time: 10:30am. A children's race follows the main event over approximately 1km. Proceeds support Inkpen sports clubs.
Well done to all the runners who took part in the 2025 Gibbet Challenge!
Many thanks to the volunteers who helped with the organisation and marshalling, and the spectators who enthusiastically supported the runners.
