Flitton Potato Race
Raising money for charities, good causes and local projects.
Sunday 1st June 2025
🥔 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 run the whole mile yourself or form a relay team of four. We also have fun Spud & Spoon races for children aged 9 and under.
Our quirky village tradition goes back over 100 years and is a great day out for the whole family.
In 2024, over 400 runners crossed the finish line, cheered on by their friends, family and local people lining the streets. Find out more about advertising your business at the event or volunteering to help.
To date we have donated over £50,000 to charities, good causes and local projects.
Every year we support a mixture of national, regional and local charities and good causes. In 2024 the race raised over £7500 for charities and good causes. See our full list of donations for more information.
Alongside our charitable donations, over the years the race has directly funded many community projects and improvements to local facilities, such as defibrillators, park benches, memorial sculptures and more.
To continue, the committee needs your support. See how you can help.
