Run it. Jog it. Walk it. Make it yours.

The route

Your 5K adventure begins outside the Carriage Circle, with the magnificent Osborne House providing the perfect backdrop to the start line.

From here, the route heads towards Sovereign's Gate and past the golf course before descending towards Osborne Beach, where spectacular views across the Solent await.

Then it's time to earn those views!

The route climbs Rhododendron Walk towards Swiss Cottage before continuing along Swiss Road, where you'll be rewarded with one of the finest views of Osborne House and its historic grounds.

One final stretch through the estate brings you back towards the house and across the finish line, completing a 5K you'll remember long after the running is done.

Woodland trails. Coastal views. A little bit of climbing. And a finish line fit for royalty.

More than just a 5K

This is about bringing people together, enjoying the outdoors and experiencing somewhere extraordinary.

With its unique setting, welcoming atmosphere and a route that showcases the very best of the Osborne estate, the Osborne House 5K offers something for everyone.
