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.

Abergele 5K & 10K

The Abergele 5K & 10K begins and ends on the promenade at Abergele/Pensarn, situated on the North Wales coast. This is a single-day road race offering both 5K and 10K distances, designed for runners seeking a flat, quick course with a simple layout. Run Wales, the organizer, targets club runners aiming for a personal best and casual runners desiring a clear coastal race. The event originated as a substitute for the Rhyl 10K before becoming a permanent fixture and introducing a 5K option. Participants can choose a single distance or complete both on the same day, with a reduced entry fee for the combined option. All finishers are awarded a unique medal and a technical T-shirt; those completing both distances receive a special package including the double medal and technical T-shirt.

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.

Spooktastic Halloween 5K

The Spooktastic Halloween 5K is a night race in Blackpool, Lancashire, beginning at 7:30pm from the FY3 9RT area near Heron's Reach. It is a Halloween-themed race with chip timing, meaning the theme is playful but results are recorded accurately. The route is multi-terrain, featuring uneven ground, changing surfaces, water, and mud. The organiser advises caution and suggests there will be surprises, fitting the Halloween theme. Previous results are available, indicating the race has a history.

Grim Reservoir Dogs

Grim Reservoir Dogs is a dog-friendly trail race at Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs in North Yorkshire. Runners can choose between a 3.3-mile loop (5K) or a 6.7-mile loop (10K), with both options following a short or longer circuit on the same off-road trail. This is a relaxed, low-key race, not a formal canicross event, and participants may enter with or without a dog. The route follows looped paths around the reservoirs, combining woodland sections with stretches alongside the water. The trails are good quality and primarily off-road, with an undulating profile. The course is marshalled and signed, with aid stations approximately every 3 miles. Parking and toilets are available on site. Every finisher receives a bespoke medal, and dogs are given a neckerchief, reflecting the event’s sociable, informal character.

RunThrough Tatton 5k & 10k November 2026

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. The race begins at 8:45 AM, with the postcode WA16 6QN marking the start. The course is contained entirely within the park, utilizing its internal roads. Both the start and finish lines are located within the park grounds. This accurately measured and chip-timed event is suitable for runners seeking a precise result, as well as those opting for the 5K distance. Lucy Harfield is the organiser.

About 5K races in Wigan

Wigan Miles And Lanes

Wigan hosts 103 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Wigan gives runners proper choice from the city centre, Robin Park, Mesnes Park lake, Haigh Hall, the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the Whelley Loop Line. The area has 235 km of routes with 233m ascent when you want a full shift. Wigan Harriers Running Club meet most nights in and around the Wigan area. Tuesday brings Speed interval vo2 max session at 6:30 PM. Thursday brings Lactate Threshold training at 6:30 PM. Wigan Phoenix adds more vest-and-mud energy. Wigan 10K feels like the anchor event. Wigan Trail 10K, Haigh Hall 4, Race For Life Wigan, Blackrod Scarecrow 10K, and Walsh Two Lads Hill Race keep the calendar honest.

Riders get a good Wigan mix, with canal edges, traffic-free paths, gravel, and lanes that roll out toward Standish, Orrell, Abram, and Ince-in-Makerfield. Wigan Wheelers and Triathlon Club covers the serious club side for recreational riders, racing cyclists, and triathletes. Rainford gives them weekly 10 mile time trials in summer from May 7th and every Tuesday thereafter. Wigan Borough Community Cycling Club rolls from Trencherfield Mill every Tuesday and Thursday over roughly 20 to 25 miles of undulating on and off-road sections. The route near Standish runs 7 km with 164 m elevation gain. 0% max grade. Harrock Hill gives the climbers a proper target. Be Well, Wigan & Leigh Girls Cycling, Wheels For All, and Gearing Up widen the bunch.

Summer suits both sports because the clubs are busy, the evenings are usable, and the Rainford 10 mile time trials give riders a weekly marker. Cycle Three Sisters lands on Wednesday 6 May and Tuesday 4 August in 2026, so crit legs get a closed-circuit hit. Runners get plenty from Haigh Hall 4, Wigan 10K, and the trail calendar when the paths are quick. Winter shifts the mood rather than stopping it. Wigan Harriers usually use the Brick Stadium for winter training. Locals still don their vests for a wet 6 miles. Santa Dash 4 Mile Trail Race falls on 20 December 2026, and Trails & Ales New Years Eve Fell Race lands on 31 December 2026.
