FOOBS Trail and Fun Runs - 11th October 2026

The FOOBS Trail and Fun Runs return this October, inviting runners of all ages and abilities to enjoy a scenic and friendly trail running experience on the outskirts of Old Basing. This much-loved annual event takes participants through picturesque countryside while celebrating the strong community spirit of the village.

With chip-timed 10K and 6K trail runs, plus a 2K fun run for families and younger runners, there is something for everyone. The event is proudly supported by the local community, parish council, and local running clubs, and is known for its welcoming atmosphere, excellent organisation, and well-earned post-run treats. Most importantly, all proceeds help raise vital funds for Friends of Old Basing Schools (F.O.O.B.S.), directly supporting local schools and children.

Whether you are chasing a personal best or simply taking part for fun, the FOOBS Trail and Fun Runs offer a rewarding day out with purpose at its heart.
