The Ciderthon

About this event

The Ciderthon brings together running and cider tasting in the scenic Thames Valley countryside around Hambleden. Runners choose between a half marathon or 5K, with cider sampling stations set up along the route. The atmosphere leans festive rather than competitive, attracting runners who enjoy a social, celebratory approach to the sport. The event finishes with more cider and a relaxed gathering. While the 5K welcomes newer runners, the half marathon suits those comfortable with longer distances. It's an unusual format that turns a rural road run into something closer to a moving party, appealing to anyone who values good company and local flavour alongside their miles.
