Summer 10K

Thu 11th July 2024

A group of runners participates in a race near a body of water surrounded by trees. Two runners in bright athletic wear pass each other on a path, while other participants jog in the background. A "RaceCheck Silver - 2019" badge is visible on the right side of the image.

Organiser's Description

Where is it?

Coombe Abbey Park, Coventry is run and managed by Coventry City Council.

Parking costs up £3 for 1-2 hours. There is a toilet block next to the HQ on site.

Coombe Abbey Park (CV3 2AB) is on the outskirts of Coventry and 6 minutes from Junction 2 of the M6. The closest train station is Coventry.

Can I run with my dog?

No, it’s likely to be too warm, even later in the day to be running with dogs.

Course description

You’ll be running through woodland, meadow and over grass fields. Depending on the weather leading up to the event this could mean muddy, not so muddy or rock hard! There will be exposed trees roots, uneven surfaces and a few gates to navigate but the running will always have a view.

The route is undulating but not hilly. A truly great venue and route!

What does it cost?

We operate a tiered pricing approach. The earlier you enter, the cheaper the event but never ever will you pay a booking fee!

Before 11/06/2024 £19

After 11/06/2023 £24

Unaffiliated entrants pay £2 extra. Why not join your local running club or sign up the Big Bear Brigade and save 10% off entries for ever!
How far is the race?

10k! This might seem a bit pointless to mention given the name but this is different to a normal Big Bear Event. You'll get the same love, a medal and some goodies but you can't run all night!
I’ve heard you do cupless events?

Yes, but not for this event. Unlike our other events we will have some biodegradable cups with water/electrolyte available on the course and we will have hot drinks available before and after too. If you have a foldable cup you can bring, even better but we don't insist on it for our short races.
Has the event been run before?

Yes! We won multiple Racecheck Gold Awards for these events and have over 150 reviews scoring us at 4.8 out of 5! You’ll love it!
I’m not that fussed by a medal..

In that case our partnership with Trees Not Tees may be of interest! When you sign up to this event you can select to have no finish line swag and instead we’ll donate the cost of this to Trees Not Tees who will plant a tree in their Scottish woodland on your behalf! You can find more info about this initiative here.
Is there a cut-off?

Effectively 2 hours. This is how long the medics are booked for. The hope is that cut-off shouldn’t exclude anyone from entering. Please do contact us if that is the case. We do have to be conscious of the sunset too!
