Get ready to put on your running shoes for our first ever 'Chicken Run'! Join us for a day of fun, fitness, and community spirit, all while raising money for our Spitalfields City Farm.

This fun run is perfect for runners of all ages and abilities. Whether you're a seasoned runner looking to beat your personal best or a family with young children, everyone is welcome! Anyone can take part from age 6 upwards, with the option to do 1km or 5km, so you can enjoy the fresh air as you run, jog or walk your way towards the finish line.

As it’s a sponsored run all the money you raise will help support our city farm and the animals we care for. All funds raised from The Chicken Run go directly to our farm to help us provide a safe and welcoming home for our animals and an educational and enjoyable experience for visitors.

And let's not forget the fun! Get into the spirit of the event with a chicken-themed outfit! This could be wearing red, white, and yellow, sporting a feather/bird print, or go for a full-on chicken look!

Afterwards, it’s over to the Farm for medals and our Summer Fair, where you can enjoy the music, food, and drink stalls, and the chance to connect with like-minded people who care about animals and community.

So why not gather your friends, family, and classmates or co-workers, and join us for 'The Chicken Run'? Whether you're a seasoned runner or a beginner, come and have some fun with us, all while making a positive impact on our city farm. We can't wait to see you there!

ABOUT THE FARM

Nestled in the heart of East London, Spitalfields City Farm is an integral part of the local community, strengthening connections between land, animals, and people for more than 45 years. 

We are a free-entry, urban oasis located a stone’s throw from the City of London that offers a unique and creative natural environment for all to enjoy. We work with a wide range of people to help them to experience the full range of benefits from being outdoors: gardening, harvesting, cooking vegetables, caring for animals, volunteering and taking part in events. We provide opportunities that empower people, helping them gain new skills and confidence to improve their employability, combat loneliness and make new friends.
