Wilson's Estate Agents Bolsover 10K 2026

The Wilson's Estate Agents Bolsover 10K begins and ends within the grounds of Bolsover Castle in Old Bolsover, Derbyshire, where the race headquarters are located. This 10K event, held in December, is organized by North Derbyshire Running Club and has a limit of 1,250 participants. The race typically sells out before race day, aligning with its reputation as a quick local 10K offering genuine personal best potential. The course is mostly rural and flat for Derbyshire, though it presents a challenge. Participants experience a net downhill section during the outward leg, compensated by an uphill return. The castle's involvement in the start and finish has altered the initial and final kilometres compared to previous iterations of the course, and organizers have increased road closures for the event. The race generates over £5,000 annually for local charities. Runners have the option of a reduced entry fee if they forgo a souvenir shirt, but the shirt cannot be purchased separately afterward.
