๐ WHAT A DAY. THANK YOU! ๐
Weโre not quite sure where to start, except with a huge thank you.
Today we welcomed an unprecedented number of runners to the Dedham Run, and despite the slightly dodgy weather at times, the atmosphere was absolutely fantastic.
To every single person who took part, whether you ran the 3K, 10K Road or 10K Trail, thank you for coming and being part of it. Seeing so many people out on the course, from serious runners chasing times to families and children simply enjoying the day, is exactly what the Dedham Run is all about.
A massive thank you also goes to our volunteers and marshals. Events like this simply cannot happen without people giving up their time to stand on roads, direct runners, hand out water, help with registration, set up, clear away and deal with the hundred and one jobs that happen behind the scenes. With record numbers this year, you were incredible.
And to our sponsors, thank you for backing the event and helping us make it happen. We are incredibly lucky to have the support of so many brilliant local businesses and organisations.
Finally, thank you to everyone who came along to support, cheer, eat, drink, buy a raffle ticket or just soak up the atmosphere. Seeing the Duchy Field so busy was pretty special.
There are undoubtedly things we can learn from managing such a big increase in numbers, but today weโre mostly feeling incredibly proud and grateful.
Over 900 runners. One slightly soggy Dedham. And a fantastic day. ๐
Thank you to everyone who made the Dedham Run 2026 what it was. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
