3rd August saw the return of the challenging Charity Goodwood 5 Mile Run with runners taking on what is possibly Goodwood’s most iconic landmark – the famous Hillclimb.
AUG 05th 2016
Goodwood 5 Mile Charity Run 2016
The iconic landmark, made famous by the multitudes of legendary motor racing heroes sprinting the 1.87km incline which has an elevation of 95m.
We were thrilled to see even more runners participate this year, 195 in total and to be lucky enough with much more favourable weather as well!
All proceeds went to Goodwood’s charity of the year, local children’s hospice, Chestnut Tree House and so far over £900 has been raised and counting.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate everyone who took part on Wednesday and a special well done to our three winners – Stephen McLoughlin our male winner who completed the course in 29:18 minutes, Kate Stillwell our female winner who crossed the finish line in 36:55 minutes and our dog winner Jake with his owner Ben Brown who finished in 36:07 minutes.
Here is what our runners had to say
It’s a tough course, a challenge but it’s achievable. We did it last year, this year and will be back again next year.

The run was very nicely organised and I love the fact that you can run the Festival of Speed route

It was my first run ever at this event last year and I have won this year! I prefer the uphill, everyone speeds up down hill and I can’t keep up!
