Oliver Fisher 10k & 5k

On Sunday, May 9, 2027, the Oliver Fisher 10k & 5k returns to Sittingbourne, Kent, offering runners an engaging off-road experience that combines breathtaking scenery with a noble cause. This annual race takes place in Milton Creek Country Park and features two main distances: a challenging 10k route and a more accessible 5k option for all levels of fitness.
The event begins at the picturesque Milton Creek Country Park, where participants will traverse winding stone trails through lush greenery, immersing themselves in nature while supporting an important charity. The race course is designed to cater to runners of various abilities, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the scenic beauty and challenging terrain.
In addition to the main races, a Junior Run event invites young athletes to experience the thrill of competition on a specially crafted route tailored for their age group. This family-friendly initiative encourages kids to engage in physical activity while fostering a sense of community among participants.
The Oliver Fisher 10k & 5k raises funds for The Oliver Fisher Special Care Baby Trust, which supports the Neonatal Unit at Medway Maritime Hospital in Gillingham by providing essential equipment and resources that enhance care quality. Over 1200 babies pass through this unit each year, making the charity's contributions invaluable.
Race day features a range of amenities to make participants' experience memorable, including bespoke medals for all finishers, trophies and prizes awarded to top runners, free on-site parking (subject to availability), complimentary photographs, and pacers guiding 10k competitors. The friendly atmosphere at Milton Creek Country Park ensures that every runner feels supported throughout the event.
For those interested in commemorating their participation, race t-shirts are available for purchase upon registration or during the day of the event. Detailed route maps and GPX files can be downloaded to help runners prepare for this delightful off-road adventure.
Entrance fees vary by distance: £30 for the 10k run, £25 for the 5k option, and a family-friendly junior entry at just £10. Event information will be distributed in advance of race day to all registered participants, ensuring everyone is well-prepared for this special occasion.
