Run Alton Towers Kids Race: 15th November 2025

Come and join us at Run Alton Towers Kid Race at the UK’s largest theme park on Saturday the 15th of November! You are guaranteed a great day out with theme park entry, and access to all of the rides included in your entry ticket.

Each distance will be accurately marked out with KM flags and mile marketers, and there will be plenty of helpers along the course to keep you on track and ensure you have encouragement all the way to the finish line.

The run is open to kids of all ages, and adults are welcome to join their child. If they prefer, young people can tackle the run solo – it’s entirely up to personal preference!

Each participant will receive a medal and plenty of post-race goodies.

The Junior race will take place in 2 Waves – with the first wave starting at 11:30am (ages 10+) and the second race starting at 11:40am (for under 10s). Please note this is subject to change on the day.

We are excited to share that we are offering free registration to anyone who pledges to fundraise for us and cover the cost of the entry team. Our friendly team will be on hand to assist you in setting up a JustGiving page, and can provide sponsorship forms and other materials to support you on your fundraising challenge.
