Brentford Sports FEST will have chip timings for its races

Do you want to beat your personal best running time? Then Brentford Sports FEST is the perfect way to beat your time while running in the iconic grounds of Syon Park. Run in partnership with Brentford Lock West, the event will be held on Sunday 12 May and aims to bring sport to the heart of the local community.

The 10k, 5k and the 5k “Walk and Talk” will start at 9.30am and the children’s races will start at 11.15am.

For water lovers, local residents can take part in an exciting paddleboarding lesson at Brentford Lock. Plus, yoga, Pilates, frisbee golf, rowing and an exciting cricket stimulator can be sampled at our vibrant health and fitness village.

Jenny, who ran the 10k race last year and lives in Brentford, said:

“I live in the Brentford Lock West development and I thought the race looked like a great course. I think it’s fantastic to get involved with a local community event.

“I do quite a lot of running events, but it’s great to have a local sporting event that is right on your doorstep.”

Formerly known as the Brentford Challenge, Brentford SportsFEST has rebranded to promote a more inclusive approach to getting active. This year will see a Primary Schools Challenge and a relay race for children – along with a 3k run for adults who are just starting to get fit.
