Recurring 10K races near Peterborough

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Thompson Millennium Green 10K & 5K

The Thompson Millennium Green 10K & 5K is an annual village run held in Thompson, Norfolk. It begins at 11:00 am from the Green, postcode IP24 1PU. The event features a 10K run and a 5K fun run. Both races utilize mixed surfaces, including paths, lanes, bridleways, farm tracks, and byroads surrounding the village, rather than closed city streets. The courses are relatively flat, offering opportunities for personal bests, and the 5K provides a shorter option for families and newer participants within the same rural setting. The 10K route commences on Thompson Millennium Green, proceeds through farmland tracks and byroads, connects with Griston Road, passes the Chequers pub, and concludes back on the Green. The 5K follows a comparable out-and-back village course. Volunteers organize the event to generate funds for Thompson Millennium Green, which is the Green’s primary annual fundraiser. Proceeds support its maintenance and development. The event relies significantly on local assistance, including marshals, timekeepers, car park attendants, finish-line photographers, kitchen volunteers, BBQ staff, and bakers contributing cakes. All finishers are awarded custom medals, leading runners receive trophies, and the post-race arrangements typically include hot dogs, refreshments, and homemade baked goods.

Standalone 10k 2026

The Standalone 10k is a road 10k run starting at Wilbury Road in Letchworth Garden City, organized by North Herts Road Runners. The race holds a UKA licence, features a timed and measured course, and is now in its 39th year. It is a significant community event locally, accommodating runners aiming for cash prizes, personal bests, or a relaxed morning with family and friends. The route utilizes a completely closed road, with club members providing professional marshalling and support along the course. Local club runners and some of the area’s strongest athletes compete alongside first-timers and casual runners. The event also offers on-course entertainment, race photos, good facilities, and the option to donate to the club charity, GRIT.

Leicester half marathon

Victoria Park provides a fitting start for runners: busy, practical, and with just enough anticipation before the road opens. The Leicester half marathon uniquely blends nature and the city center. The route crosses the Golden Mile, heads toward Watermead Country Park, and returns through lived-in streets. The event also has a community focus, with the organization supporting local health charities, including places for runners fundraising for bereavement support services. The course is largely flat and fast, but pace yourself. Runners will experience "fresh air" and "peaceful canals" before returning to the "urban buzz." New Walk presents the final challenge: a "magnificent historic pedestrian promenade" with a "gentle uphill false flat" to the finish. Expect numerous bands and roadside cheers, and a crowd whose enthusiasm remains strong when fatigue sets in.

Run Leicester Half Marathon & 10K

The Run Leicester Festival begins and ends in Victoria Park. This offers runners a city-centre race based in a park, rather than a point-to-point course. The event takes place in October and includes two options: a 10K or a half marathon, allowing participants to choose between a shorter city run and the full 13.1-mile distance. The course guides runners through Leicester’s central streets and parks before they return to Victoria Park. Mesothelioma UK utilizes the event as a fundraiser. Participants who join their team receive a fundraising pack, assistance from the charity’s fundraising staff, entry to a private Facebook group, and a branded vest or T-shirt for race day. Supporters can also purchase T-shirts and other fundraising items to wear while cheering.

Ely Tri Club Runfest 2026

Ely Tri Club Runfest is a running festival held in October at Palace Green in Ely. The Half Marathon begins and ends outside Ely Cathedral. The event features out-and-back courses with multiple distances: 10k, Half Marathon, Marathon, and an ultra option. This caters to runners seeking anything from a shorter mixed-surface run to a longer endurance challenge. The Half Marathon covers 21.1 km on tarmac and compact trail along Cycle Path 11, with a turnaround point in Wicken village. Courses are marked, results are timed, and the event has a 300-participant limit, closing registration when full. The Runfest originated as an ultra event, with the Half Marathon introduced as the festival expanded beyond its initial long-distance focus.

Pumpkin Plod covers two autumn race events with distinct formats: a Thanksgiving morning road race in Highland, Indiana, and a timed-lap run at Ferry Meadows near Peterborough. The Highland event commences at 9:00 a.m. CST from Highway Ave. & Kennedy Ave., concludes at Lincoln Center, and features a USATF-certified 10K run alongside a 5K walk. The 10K is characterized as flat, fast, competitive, and chip-timed, whereas the 5K walk is untimed and non-competitive. The Ferry Meadows event takes place in a large country park near Peterborough city centre, with participants selecting a six-hour window starting at 9:00 a.m. or a four-hour window beginning at 11:00 a.m. In Highland, both routes wind through local streets, and the race embraces its Thanksgiving theme with pumpkin pies awarded to top finishers in age groups, Athena, and Clydesdale categories, along with plaques for overall and masters champions. The 10K includes age divisions from 8 and under up to participants in their 80s, and is part of the Calumet Striders Gold Cup Elite Series. At Ferry Meadows, Zig Zag Running utilizes a 5.3K multi-terrain loop on gravel paths and grass, with a base camp, registration, water, and aid situated at the start and lap point. Runners may pause between laps, covering distances from 5K to an ultra, and can continue as long as they begin their final lap before the time limit expires; road shoes are generally suitable, though trail shoes may offer advantages on soft grass.

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.

Hertfordshire Half Marathon

The Hertfordshire Half Marathon starts and finishes before Knebworth House, a Grade II listed house near Knebworth in Hertfordshire. It is an autumn closed-road half marathon with a 10K option on the same race programme, chip timing, a 9:00 AM start, and a three-hour limit for the half marathon. The route uses rural roads and countryside paths around Knebworth Park, with rolling sections rather than a completely flat run. It draws runners chasing a personal best as well as first-timers moving up in distance, and the event supports Garden House Hospice. The setting adds local character: Knebworth House sits in large gardens and parkland, has hosted major open-air concerts by acts such as Oasis, Led Zeppelin, Robbie Williams, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and also has visitor attractions including an adventure playground and dinosaur trail.

ATW Remembrance Runs

ATW Remembrance Runs take place at The Carver Barracks in Essex, the former Debden Airfield, on Remembrance weekend in November. The event supports The Felix Fund and provides four traffic-free distances: a half marathon, 10km, 5km, and a 1 mile race. The races utilize the flat concrete grounds of a disused Second World War airfield, making the running straightforward and fast underfoot. The day commemorates fallen service members, connecting it to the broader Remembrance tradition observed across Commonwealth countries since the end of the First World War. Music is provided on the course, children under eight may participate with a paying adult, and finishers receive custom medals, free event photos, and snacks at the finish.

George Munday 10k

The George Munday 10k is a Remembrance Sunday road race held in Leverington, a village in the East of England. It begins with a pre-race tribute and a two-minute silence, lending the day a quieter, more reflective atmosphere before the running commences. This 10k event, organized by Three Counties Running Club, is in its tenth year and has previously attracted over 350 participants. The route departs Leverington, proceeding along quiet, flat country lanes towards Newton, before returning to conclude at Leverington Sports and Social Club. The course is suitable for those running their first 10k, and its flat terrain also appeals to runners aiming for a personal best. The race commemorates George Munday, a decorated military officer who resided at Leverington Hall until his passing in 1970. Participants have the option to preorder a limited-edition T-shirt, and on-site parking is restricted.

Remembrance Run

Remembrance Run is a timed lap event held at Ferry Meadows, a country park situated just under three miles from Peterborough city centre. Participants select a six-hour duration starting at 9 am or a four-hour duration beginning at 11 am. They then complete 5.3K laps at a pace and volume they choose. The structure is intentionally flexible, allowing participants to run a single lap, complete a half-marathon distance, or continue towards ultra marathon distances. The course follows gravel footpaths through woodland, incorporating some grassy sections, offering more variety than a typical flat road circuit. Participants return to the central area after each lap, providing opportunities to stop, rest, and determine their next steps. Completing five laps constitutes the event’s standard “heavy half marathon,” and nine laps count as the standard ultra. Both distances can be extended on the day, and any runner starting a final lap before 5:59:59 will have it counted.

About 10K races in Peterborough

Peterborough Training Notes

Peterborough hosts 70 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals usually start easy at Ferry Meadows, Thorpe Meadows, Central Park, or the River Nene, then stretch west on grass tracks beside the river and the Nene Valley railway past Wansford. The route covers 834 km with 248 m ascent. Bushfield Runners meet every Tuesday and Thursday evening at 6:15pm at Vivacity Bushfield Leisure Centre. The Great Eastern Run is the anchor event, and Peterborough Parkrun, Greenwheel Relay, Run For Cake, and the 5k Grand Prix keep the calendar ticking.

Locals ride the Peterborough Green Wheel when they want a proper loop, then use the spokes back to the city centre, Ferry Meadows, or Peterborough Cathedral. Travelchoice leisure routes roll through Castor, Marholm, Etton, Helpston, Werrington, and Farcet, and the rides run 7 to 16 miles on quiet lanes or off-road tracks. Peterborough Cycling Club has been around since 1874, and the club scene leans into Club Time Trials, the early season Reliability Ride, the Open Time Trial, Road Races, and the NCRA handicap road race at Southwick. The NCRA handicap road race at Southwick runs 8 km and tops out at 262 m.

Summer is the best block here because East Anglia turns a bit warmer and sunnier, so locals bank Z2 laps, parkrun sharpness, and long rides without overthinking layers. The River Nene paths stay useful for intervals and steady miles, and the south side gives a paved run all the way to the city centre. Winter brings colder, frostier East Anglia mornings, so runners watch the grass tracks after rain and cyclists treat soft gravel as a cue to change the route-plan. Locals keep going with Bushfield Frostbite, short loops around Ferry Meadows, and club time trials when the road season wakes up.
