About this race
The Keighley 10k & 5k is a Mothers' Day running and walking event held in Keighley, West Yorkshire, offering participants a choice between a 10-kilometre or 5-kilometre distance. The event commences at 09:00 from Victoria Park, with Race HQ located at Keighley Leisure Centre. Proceeds from the event benefit Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice. The courses are multi-terrain, featuring undulations and challenges that provide an early-season test, distinct from a flat road race.
Both race distances follow a single loop course utilizing paths, pavements, and towpaths through Keighley, Utley, and Riddlesden. The route includes a section alongside the Leeds Liverpool Canal and offers a view of East Riddlesden Hall. The 10k route incorporates Keighley Golf Club. The event has an entry limit of 1,200 participants. Water stations and distance markers will be available on the course. Finishers will receive a unique wooden medal crafted from recycled Christmas trees. Many participants run or walk with their mothers, for their mothers, or in memory of their mothers.
