THE Matching Festival is set for this Bank Holiday Weekend.

There are details on the posters below as well as on The Chequers website.

2026 will be the inaugural Matching 10k run. The route takes runners through the beautiful rural landscapes of west Essex and East Hertfordshire communities. It will be a truly unique experience, as this route can only be accessed on this one day. Part of the run is on private land that will be opened exclusively for this race event!​

With 500 participants on the day, and expected additional spectator numbers in the region of 1,500, the run synergises with the annual Matching Green May Day event on Matching Green.
