Abergele 5K & 10K Fun Run 2026

The Abergele 5K & 10K Fun Run begins on the Abergele/Pensarn promenade along the North Wales coast, with Race HQ located near the start and finish. The 5K race takes place in the morning, preceding the 10K, allowing participants to select one distance or compete in both on the same day. The course is flat and fast, clearly aimed at individuals seeking a 5K or 10K personal best, as well as those desiring a convenient local race. The event originated as a temporary replacement for the Rhyl 10K and continued after positive runner reception, with a 5K introduced alongside the initial distance. Both club runners and casual participants suit the format, particularly as the double race option allows participation in two events without excessive complexity. All finishers receive a custom medal and technical T-shirt. Those completing both races are awarded a medal ribbon signifying their achievement and receive a reduced entry fee for the pair.
