10 Mile Runs 2026 - 2027

10 Mile runs are a fantastic stepping stone in the world of running events in the UK. Covering a distance of 10 miles (approximately 16.1 km), these races are an achievable yet challenging goal for runners who have conquered 10k races and want to push themselves further. At the same time, a 10 mile run is a popular choice for seasoned runners looking to test their endurance or prepare for even longer races, like a half marathon.

Whether you’re looking to push beyond 10k for the first time or you’re an experienced runner chasing a 10 mile PB, explore our comprehensive 2026 - 2027 10 mile race calendar below. Filter by date, location, or race type to find the perfect event for you.

10 mile runs FAQs

What kind of race is a 10 mile race?

A 10 mile race is an event covering 10 miles, or just over 16 kilometres. That can mean anything from a road race to a trail or mixed-terrain event; the distance tells you how far you’ll have to run, not what the course will be like. Some 10-milers are traditional point-to-point or looped races; others sit within larger running events offering several distances. Pay close attention to the elevation and terrain when choosing your first 10 mile race, as this will give you a sense of the difficulty involved.

Can an average person run 10 miles?

Plenty of recreational runners can build up to 10 miles, but whether it’s a sensible next race depends on your current fitness level. You don’t need to hit a particular pace to belong on a 10 mile race start line. If you can already comfortably run 10k, a 10-miler is a solid step up without being as demanding as the jump to a half marathon. Choosing a flatter road race or a more forgiving lapped event can also make the distance feel less daunting for a first attempt.

How do I train for a 10 mile race?

Training for a 10 mile race usually means building your long runs up gradually until you feel comfortable covering that distance. It’s important to give yourself enough weeks to increase the distance slowly, adding no more than around 10% to your total mileage each week, otherwise you’ll likely end up injured.

Is a 10 mile race a good step up from a 10k before trying a half marathon?

A 10 mile race can be a very useful step between a 10k and a half marathon because it lets you practise running longer without taking on the full 13.1 miles straight away. You can test out your pacing and fuelling strategies at a slightly shorter distance, then go into half marathon training with more confidence when you’re ready. You don’t have to race 10 miles before entering a half marathon, though. If you’re already comfortable running beyond 10k in training, you may prefer to tackle the longer distance without a step in between.

When are most 10 mile races held in the UK?

While 10 mile races take place throughout the year, the current calendar is busiest in late summer and through the winter months. December has the largest number of events currently listed, with plenty of races also appearing in August and October. That mix is partly driven by smaller club races and festive lapped events, so there isn’t one traditional 10-mile ‘season’ in the way there is for some other race formats. More dates are likely to appear as organisers publish future races.

How much does it cost to enter a 10 mile race?

Most published 10-mile entry prices on Find a Race sit between roughly £24 and £79, although specialist or longer-format events can cost more. Prices vary depending on the organiser and what else is included in the event. For most races, you can expect to pay somewhere around the £25-£35 mark, although events that are part of a more unusual endurance format may cost much more.

Are 10 mile races run on road or on trail?

Lots of 10 mile races take place on trails, but there are plenty of road options too, and some events have mixed terrain. The ground under your feet can definitely impact how difficult the distance feels, so it’s something to consider before you book. If you’re specifically interested in off-road running, our trail running calendar is worth a look too.

Are 10 mile races flat or hilly?

The only unifying feature of 10 mile races is that they cover the same distance; the terrain and elevation profile varies from one event to another. Some are hilly, others are flat, many are somewhere in between. Tougher trail races can include as much as 500 metres or more of ascent. If hills aren’t your thing, check the course elevation profile before you book.
