Flitton Potato Race

Raising money for charities, good causes and local projects.

This year’s race will be on Sunday 2nd June 2024.

About the race...

Run, walk or stagger a mile carrying a sack of spuds to raise money for charities, local projects and good causes!

There are race categories for all ages and depending on the category runners carry 20, 10, 5 or 2kg. You can either run the whole mile yourself or form a relay team of four to run a quarter of a mile each. All entrants go home with a commemorative medal.

For children and toddlers there are Spud & Spoon races.

To date we have donated over £49,000 to charities, good causes and local projects.

Every year we support a mixture of national, regional and local charities and good causes. In 2023 we shared £5000 between the Primrose Car Service (transport for cancer patients in Bedfordshire to Addenbrookes hospital), My Name'5 Doddie Foundation, Mind BLMK and NOAH Enterprise.

To continue, the committee needs your support. See how you can help.
