About the event

Our Grandma Run will take place on Sunday, 11 April 2027, starting at 10.30am and we would absolutely love for you to be part of it!

Whether you’re running, walking, cheering from the side lines, or simply showing your support, the day promises to be filled with joy, laughter and meaningful moments.

It’s a chance to share stories, make memories and recognise the lasting impact Grandparents have on our lives and families.

Run, jog or sing a lap of Burrator and help raise money for Cancer Research UK. Join us for a feel-good morning of connection, celebration and gratitude as we run in their honour and keep their legacy alive. Fancy dress is encouraged!

Event Information

Please park in the Quarry Car Park and walk down towards the reservoir where you'll be able to see the Cancer Research UK gazebo to sign in.

The route around the reservoir is well paved and there will be marshals positioned to guide you around the course.
