Remembrance Races

Taking place on Remembrance Sunday, this race pauses for an 11am silence, with the Last Post and Reveille played live. The looped trail course near Brightlingsea runs 10.54km a lap, and you can cover a half marathon, a marathon or as many laps as you manage within six hours.

This Portsmouth event is run by Combat Stress, the veterans' mental health charity, raising money for its work supporting those who served. There are two distances: a 76km ultra from Aldershot, the home of the British Army, and a 36km route from Petersfield, both finishing at the Royal Naval Museum.

This race takes place on the concrete runways of a former World War II airfield at Carver Barracks in Essex, a fitting setting for the weekend. Choose from a half marathon, 10k, 5k or 1-mile fun run, with money raised going to the military charity The Felix Fund.

The 'Lest We Forget' run follows a lapped waterfront course along Cardiff Bay, passing the Senedd and the Wales Millennium Centre. Choose your distance from a 5k up to an ultra, completing as many of the 5.3km laps as you like within seven hours.

An old railway line near Lincoln forms the course for this timed run, with a bespoke Remembrance-themed medal for everyone who finishes. You've got six hours to run as far as you like, from a 5k up to an ultra, over a 3.28-mile out-and-back lap.

The Lytham St Annes 10k falls on Remembrance Sunday and is run as a tribute to those who served. The route passes the town's landmark windmill and follows the shoreline, with a reflective atmosphere that sets it apart from a typical 10k.
