Supporting the Community

Every ticket purchased helps support Highnam Court Cricket Club and its facilities.

Following the successful return of the event in 2025, proceeds from the run helped fund significant improvements to the club pavilion, including refurbished changing rooms, new showers, a modernised kitchen and hot water facilities—creating a more welcoming space for players, families and visitors.

By taking part, you'll be helping us continue to invest in grassroots sport and create opportunities for more people to enjoy cricket and community activities at the club.

Running for Charity?

You're welcome to use the Great Highnam Court Run to raise sponsorship for a charity that's important to you. While all entry fees support Highnam Court Cricket Club, any sponsorship you raise can go directly to your chosen charity. Simply arrange your fundraising with them and let us know who you're supporting so we can feature them on our website and invite them to the event.
