Chew Valley 10K

Sign up!

The 14th Chew Valley 10k returns on Sunday 7 June 2026 at 9.30am, with the beautiful rural route and fabulous hill! This year’s event is supporting a number of good causes including Dorothy House. 

The race

The race start will once again be just up from Race Headquarters at Bishop Sutton Village Hall, Wick Road, with closed roads at the start and finish. The parking is free and is just up the road at Westway Farm. 

From Wick Road (just after New Manor Farm Shop), you will turn left at Widcombe Common and take in some beautiful, undulating rural lanes, set in the backdrop of the Mendip Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Another left further on takes you to Coley Hill about halfway – lovely and leafy and with marshals cheering you on at the bottom and top!  

The route then takes in Back Lane and Upper Road in Hinton Blewett, past the Ring o’ Bells pub and then left back out of the village and towards Top Sutton, via Hinton Blewett Road, with minimal traffic on the main open route.  The last 2km or so is a wonderful drop back down Sutton Hill Road, onto Church Lane and to the back of Bishop Sutton Primary School on Highmead Gardens and a very warm welcome home! 

Fundraising at the Chew Valley 10K for Dorothy House 

Once you’re signed up, why not use the event as an opportunity to raise vital funds for Dorothy House. Every pound raised means we can continue to deliver personalised care to patients and their families’ right across our patch.  

Once you let us know you’re signed up and ready to fundraise for the Hospice, you’ll get dedicated fundraising support and we’ll provide you with a Dorothy House tech t-shirt or vest for you to wear during the event.  

Did you know, £218 could fund a compassionate, skilled and experienced Hospice at Home Carer to provide care overnight, enabling a patient to stay at home at the end of their life.  

Once you’re signed up, please use the form here to let us know.
