About the event
The Inflatable 5K is your chance to jump, leap and slide your way through a 5K inflatable obstacle course all in aid of St John’s Hospice.
The Inflatable 5k Obstacle Course is coming to St Albans on Saturday 25th April 2026 and it's going to be Epic! The obstacles are BIGGER, BOUNCIER and BETTER than ever before! You'll be jumping, sliding and laughing all the way to the finish line. Grab your friends, family or tackle it on your own. Lace up your trainers and get ready for the ultimate day out with UK Running Events! The course is 2.5K and so you have the option to take part in a 2.5k, 5k or 10k obstacle course when following the sign up link at the top of the page. This race is suitable for children aged 5 and above. The inflatable 5k is open for ages 5 - 15 years old. Children must be accompanied by a participating adult at all times (3:1 child:adult ratio).
So grab your friends, lace up your trainers and help us to enable people in our community to live better for longer.
