The Festival Run was founded in Summer 2013 to organise an enjoyable running event on the Glastonbury Festival site in Pilton, Somerset.
This year will be the fifth  event.  £1500 was raised for the Children's Hospice South West in 2013; and £4500 in 2014 for the same charity. In 2015, £9000 was shared between the Children's Hospice South West and the Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance.
