September is packed with updates from Castle Race Series! With Hever Castle just around the corner, discover the latest race news, partner offers, freebie opportunities, charity places with Alzheimer’s Research UK and ways to get involved as a marshal.
Castle Race Series has been featured in the latest edition of Men’s Health. Inspired by some of the magazine’s wider conversations around health and longevity, we take a closer look at biohacking and seven simple habits that could help us live healthier, more active lives for longer.
We’ve got one more event to look forward to in September, before we turn our attention to 2027 — our full calendar of dates is now live, and you can already book onto most of them and get them in your race diary. We’re also sharing Tess’s story, and why she chose to race for Alzheimer’s — it’s one you won’t want to miss. And if you fancy a different kind of race day experience, we’re looking for marshals for Hever Castle and our 2027 events. Let’s dive in.
Just weeks after losing her dad to dementia, Tess laced up and took on the Olympic triathlon at Belvoir Castle in his memory — swimming, cycling and walking every step for him. Fuelled by grief, love and the generosity of everyone who sponsored her, she crossed the finish line having raised over £2,800 for Alzheimer’s Research UK. This is her story.
There’s something special about racing beneath the walls of Belvoir Castle — a setting that turns every finish line into a moment to remember.
This course doesn’t go easy on anyone, and it didn’t need to. We watched our biggest-ever wave of young competitors take on the challenge alongside first-timers finding their feet and seasoned racers back for more. Different starting points, same fierce determination.
Thank you for bringing the energy that made this event unforgettable — we’ll see you back at Belvoir Castle next year!
This year, we’re proud to have Alzheimer’s Research UK back as our Charity Partner again for another year. If you’ve signed up for one of our races, we want to ask you a favour: alongside training for your race, would you consider fundraising for Alzheimer’s Research UK too?
