Both races begin at 8:45 am from the park grounds near WA16 6QN. The course remains within Tatton Park, utilizing the internal roads before finishing back inside the grounds.

Brewers 5K & 10K

The Brewers 10K & 5K begins and ends at Burton Albion’s Pirelli Stadium, making the football ground the focal point. This is a closed-road running event in Burton upon Trent, held in October, with the 10K commencing before the 5K. The race uses chip timing, features distance markers for each kilometre, and provides water stations along the route. The course proceeds through Stretton and Rolleston-on-Dove, offering open views of the Staffordshire countryside before runners head back to the stadium. RunThrough organizes the event in partnership with Burton Albion, and the race coincides with the club’s anniversary events. A past edition attracted over 1,000 participants, and the event is intended for club runners, those attempting their first 10K, 5K runners, Burton Albion supporters, and local families. Participants receive a themed medal, complimentary race photos, refreshments after the race, and items from partners at the finish line.

Macclesfield Running Festival October 2026

The Macclesfield Running Festival takes place in October in Macclesfield, Cheshire, offering 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances. All races commence and conclude at the athletics track within Macclesfield Leisure Centre. They feature chip timing and are conducted on entirely closed roads, providing participants with a controlled road-racing environment instead of a park-style circuit. The courses are level, single loops that are professionally measured. They depart from the town and proceed onto country roads in the Cheshire area. Local bands perform along the route, aid stations are available to support runners, and spectators congregate in the communities along the way. Macclesfield Harriers AC also contribute to the event's operation. All finishers are awarded a medal, complimentary race photographs, and post-race items.

Leeds 5K (OCT '26)

The Leeds 5K is a monthly, traffic-free 5 km race held at the University of Leeds Brownlee Centre, taking place from February through November. It begins at 19:30 on a flat, three-lap road course with a 200-runner capacity, designed for those preferring a focused evening race over a large, busy event. The race is chip-timed, EA licensed, and open to wheelchair athletes. The process is simple: register beforehand, then collect or reuse a race number containing a timing chip, which can be kept for subsequent Leeds or York 5K races. Results are sent via text immediately after finishing, with mile splits available the following day, aiding in monitoring progress over time or competing against clubmates. Basic facilities include toilets and water, but no changing rooms, showers, or baggage storage. A small post-run tradition is receiving a chocolate bar.

Nottingham 1.5k, 5k, 10k & Semi-Marathon MoRun

The Nottingham MoRun takes place at Memorial Gardens Riverside on Victoria Embankment, featuring races of 1.5k, 5k, 10k, and a half marathon. As a November running event associated with Movember, the atmosphere is relaxed, encouraging participation from families, friends, and teams, often in costumes or headbands, with many running for a cause. The 1.5k Mini MoRun offers a chip-timed race for children, while adults can select from shorter runs up to a half marathon. The event benefits Movember, the charity focused on raising funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and suicide prevention. Participants can contribute through donations during registration or by creating fundraising pages via Movember or JustGiving. All race distances are chip timed, providing immediate results. Finishers are awarded a MoRun medal and a MoRunning headband, with refreshments available at the finish line. Merchandise, including t-shirts and running vests, can be purchased for those seeking the complete MoRunner appearance.

Birmingham Running Festival November

The Birmingham Running Festival takes place on a November race day in Sutton Park, offering 5K, 10K, half marathon, and junior race options. It is structured as a late-season event, allowing runners to conclude their year with a short race, a longer effort, or a family-friendly junior run. The routes incorporate Sutton Park’s historic roads and gravel paths, providing a mix of firm running surfaces instead of a typical city-street course. The half marathon begins first, with the 10K, 5K, and junior race following later in the morning. The event also provides support for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Tatton Park 5K & 10K November

The Tatton Park 5K & 10K takes place on a November morning within Tatton Park, Knutsford, Cheshire. Participants can choose between a 5K or 10K distance.

About 5K races in Chesterfield

Chesterfield Training Notes

Chesterfield hosts 98 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep the running simple and useful, with Queen's Park, the River Rother, Holmebrook Valley Country Park and the 6k Run Chesterfield all doing regular work. The River Rother route starts on Ingleton Road and rises gently from 80m to 95m above sea level, so it suits steady Z2 without drama. Club nights run Monday to Thursday, with 5K or 5 miler options, intervals for pace, speed and stamina, and track work on Tuesday. Redbrik Foundation Chesterfield 10K, No Walk In the Park 5K, NDRC & Run Forest Summer Series, Linacre Infini Trail Run and Holymoorside 10K give the calendar proper anchors.

Chesterfield riders get smooth paths, country parks and more adventurous routes without needing a big faff. Chesterfield Spire Cycling Club has been around since 1889, meets socially on Monday evenings at 7:30 PM at Outwood Hasland Hall School, and rolls Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 9:30 AM from the cafe at Queen's Park Sports Centre. Peak Cycling Club sits just outside Chesterfield and welcomes beginners and road cycling enthusiasts. The 40 mile North Derbyshire route links the Five Pits Trail, Silverhill Trail, Teversal Trail, Archeological Way, Clowne Greenway, Poolsbrook Country Park and the Trans Pennine Trail. North East Derbyshire gives the climbing legs their work.

Summer suits both sports best, because locals go a bit off road, add a fell run, and use the trails more. Weekends can get busy in the Summer months, especially on the shared paths around the rail trails and country parks. Winter changes the rhythm, with running club nights tending to stay on roads local to Chesterfield and Sunday offering a social fell run between 4 and 8 miles. Riders keep base miles on local roads, use quiet lanes out of town, and pick gravel bikes for routes that are 70% plus off road when the ground plays nicely.
