ABERSOCH 10k & 3k Beach Race 2026

The Abersoch 10K and 3K Beach Race is a Saturday event held in Abersoch, on the Llyn Peninsula in North Wales. The 3K begins at 9:30am on Abersoch Beach, one hour before the 10K, and is open to runners aged five and up. This shorter race remains on the sand and is more challenging than its distance implies, while the 10K starts in the village, offering adults and older participants a combined road and beach course. The 10K route passes through Abersoch village before concluding on the main beach, allowing spectators to view the race in the streets and then gather by the shore for the finish. The village crowds contribute significantly to race morning, with cheering along the course and applause as runners arrive at the beach. The finish area features commentary, live music, and a beach bar, contributing to a distinct seaside race-day atmosphere.
