Welcome to the 2024 Horsfall House Charity Walk, Jog or Run.
This annual charitable event follows a route of 10 miles (or 3-4 miles if you prefer the shorter version) around Minchinhampton, the Gatcombe Park woods and Avening Court, the latter two of which are not normally accessible to the general public, with Horsfall House gaining access by kind permission of their owners. The last entry to Avening Court is at 3pm.
The walk itself will be going on throughout the day, starting anytime from 9.30am, with last entry at 1pm. Runners who wish to run with others, including those running with RaceNation will be setting off together at 10am.
Toilets, drink stations and bacon sandwiches are available halfway, with ice cream also available to purchase from outside Horsfall House on the final stretch home.
There is a shuttle bus service on offer, taking people who need it from registration at Minchinhampton Library to Avening Court, and back via Avening Social Club.

Supporting Horsfall House
You can further help support the work of Horsfall House by taking part and raising sponsorship yourself, or you may choose to sponsor one of our Community Champions.
Either way, whichever method you choose is greatly appreciated and will go along way to supporting our work with the elderly in our communities. View our JustGiving page here.
Information for Runners
Runners will set off together at 10am and will follow the same route as other walkers. The route is an open road route but will also involve some cross-country running including stiles etc.
There is a water station part way round. To keep our costs to a minimum the route is self-timed.
You may register to run here.
