A royal setting. An unforgettable 5K.

Ever fancied running through the grounds of a royal residence? This is your chance.

Join us for a very special 5K adventure through the historic Osborne estate, the former seaside home of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

From winding woodland paths and open parkland to sweeping views across the Solent, this is no ordinary 5K. It's a chance to explore one of the Isle of Wight's most spectacular locations, discover a little royal history along the way and experience Osborne House from a whole new perspective.

Whether you're chasing a personal best, taking on your first 5K or simply fancy a memorable morning out with friends and family, there's a place for you on the start line.

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.

Bring your running friends, encourage someone to try their first 5K or come along with the family to enjoy a morning of running, history and adventure.
