30 race days and thousands of pounds raised for charity. That’s the story of Langtoft Road Run. So far...

​

We began life in 1988 as a race to raise funds for the village playgroup. The original 6.7 mile run started from the car park at the Waggon and Horses pub, with the two-mile fun run starting at East End playing field.

​

These races proved very popular, attracting runners from far and wide. They also included a competition between the West End and East End of the village.

​

In 1991 the races became metric - 10k and 3k - and shortly after we moved to our current base at Manor Way playing fields.

​

Over the years many village projects and groups have benefited from the money raised by our race days. New gates were provided for St Michael’s Church, a basketball net was put up on the playing field, and we made a contribution to new fences around the tennis courts. 

​

Among the many groups to benefit from donations are Langtoft Pre-School, Langtoft Primary School, Langtoft Football Club and the village hall committee.

​

We didn’t hold an event in 2001 because of the foot-and-mouth outbreak or in 2013 because of a traffic management issue.

​

But since we returned in 2014, the hard work of our committee has seen the event enjoy record numbers in the 10k every year.

​

We look forward to you joining us at another great event in May!
