Hawkesbury Upton 5K (HU5K)
20 June 2026
HU5K is a 5k run for all ages and abilities, in and around the village of Hawkesbury Upton.
For over a decade, our event has been helping to fund resources at Hawkesbury Primary School.
The course visits sections of the beautiful Cotswold Way, with stunning views of the glorious South Gloucestershire countryside.
The course: HU5k starts and ends within the cotswold village of Hawkesbury Upton. The route is gently undulating on roads and tracks which are paved or earth-surfaced, with short sections on grass footpath. There will be full signage to make sure you stay on track, and plenty of marshals to cheer you on and keep you safe.
Our community: HU5k is organised entirely by volunteers in the village of Hawkesbury Upton, in support of Hawkesbury Primary PTA. We’re grateful to everyone involved for bringing a true community spirit to this event. Thank you!
