Pippa Middleton surprised locals on Sunday as she took part in a charity run organised by a nearby school. The Princess of Wales's younger sister jogged the Kintbury 5, a five-mile run organised by Kintbury St Mary's Primary School near Hungerford, not far from her Berkshire home.
Pippa, 42, looked sporty in HOKA running shorts and a William's Racing cap, with her number 164 attached to her top. She wore her £250,000 diamond engagement ring and tied her hair back in a ponytail, choosing bright blue and white HOKA trainers despite the muddy terrain across 'tracks, trails, and quiet roads'.
The event is described as a 'fun, lively run' with 'scenic spots' and a 10 am start. They also stage events for children, so it is possible Pippa's three children, Arthur, seven, Grace, five, and Rose, three, may have taken part. Pippa has a longstanding passion for sport and fitness, having completed the Great Wall Marathon, the Race Across America cycle, and a cross-continental swim in Istanbul.
Running is something Pippa shares with her sister, the Princess of Wales. However, Kate has said she would never run a marathon due to security requirements. Pippa and her husband James are preparing for their nine-year wedding anniversary on 20 May, but have faced challenges from an ongoing privacy battle at their £15 million home, Barton Court.
The Matthews family is involved in hearings over a gate installed to improve security, which has caused backlash from residents who claim the driveway is a vital link between two footpaths. James said in a written statement that he did not see any members of the public using the drive before moving in, and that there is a need for higher security due to their high public profile.
