10k (or 6.2 miles) is a super popular running distance, and generally the next step up from a 5k. It’s a great way to push yourself - whether that’s to run a bit further, jog a bit faster or maybe to smash a PB. For seasoned athletes, the 10k is often seen as a great distance to keep fit and boost pace without becoming completely exhausted. If you're looking for something to put your mettle to the test past a 5k, then a 10k is a great next step, and with hundreds of 10k events in the running calendar across the entire UK, there’s bound to be something not all too far from you. Check out just a handful of the awesome 10ks on offer below or search for runs by area in the search bar. We hope to see you at an event very soon!

About 10k events in the UK

10km (or 6.2 miles) is a hugely popular distance with runners of all levels. 10k races are perfect either as a challenging starter event for beginners or as practice for longer distances. Event organisers will often give you a choice between 5k and 10k routes, so when you're ready to take that step up, you can. Much like for 5k events, some large 'running festivals' such as the Edinburgh Marathon Festival and Bournemouth Marathon Festival also host 10k races, with big crowds to cheer you on to the finish line.
