Celebrate Bonfire Night in a bold, active way with the Bonfire 5K Virtual Race! Held on 5th November 2025, this special event blends tradition with fitness, giving you a fun and flexible way to mark one of the UK’s most iconic nights.
Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, commemorates the foiled Gunpowder Plot of 1605 — a dramatic moment in British history that’s remembered with bonfires, fireworks, and community celebrations.
Now, you can honour the night by lacing up your running shoes and completing a 5K your way — run, jog, or walk at your own pace, in your own place, wherever you are in the world.
Celebrate history, spark your motivation, and light up the night with every step.
