We’re delighted to announce that the ABS Chicken Run, sponsored by Porcelanosa is returning for 2026. Join us on Saturday 24th October for our 5km fun run through the streets of London – a day of community, movement, and fundraising for a cause that matters deeply to our profession.
Whether you’re running solo or as part of a team, all abilities are welcome. Come in costume, come as you are, and come ready for a fantastic day.
Run for a Reason
Every step you take supports ABS Support Services – providing financial, mental health, housing, and employment assistance to architects and built environment professionals in need. The Last Chicken Run raised nearly £17,000, and we’re aiming to go even further in 2026.
Set up your JustGiving page today and start collecting donations from friends, family, and colleagues ahead of race day.
