The Bog Run is back for the 10th and FINAL time...
Let's get boggin'!
Whether you're flying solo or taking part with family, friends or colleagues, challenge yourself against nature in the muddiest 5k around on Sunday 11th October 2026 at Castlewellan Forest Park. With your support, we can help ensure no child has to face cancer alone.
IMPORTANT INFO BEFORE REGISTERING
TIMES: Sign in opens from 9.30am with the Junior Bog Run getting underway from 10.30am and our Senior Bog Run getting underway from 12.30pm. Online registration closes at 3pm on Thursday 8th October, or earlier if the event sells out.
DIFFICULTY: This is a 5km walk/jog/run on and off the forest path involving crawling through bushes, climbing over trees, wading through mud pits (sometimes up to your neck), and the senior course goes through a small section of lake that comes up to your waist. Junior and Senior events follow the same route - juniors do not go through the lake and there are a few less mud pits.
FUNDRAISING: The Bog Run is first and foremost a fundraising event. If you sign up to join us, we please ask you try your best to raise your minimum sponsorship target. Everyone who reaches their sponsorship target by 1pm on Monday 12th October will automatically be entered into a prize draw!
TEAM REGISTRATION: We have a 10% registration discount for Senior event teams of 5 or more. Get in touch with us on 028 9080 5599 / 01 562 1580 or email [email protected] to get your code today. If you have a large group to register for either the Senior or Junior event, don't hesitate to get in touch and we can support you with getting everyone signed up.
