10k Runs in Northern Ireland 2026-2027

10k runs in Northern Ireland: 26 10K races in 2026 and 2027, from Belfast to the north coast, with dates, start locations and entry links. The 10K is the bread and butter of Northern Irish road running. Belfast has races along the Lagan towpath, around the Titanic Quarter and through the Stormont estate, Lisburn pairs its 10K with a half marathon on a June evening, and the smaller towns have club-run 10Ks that have been on the calendar for decades. Add the Causeway Coast around Portrush and Coleraine, the Mournes above Newry and the lakes around Enniskillen, and there is a 10K here for whatever mood you are in.

What to expect from a Northern Irish 10k

Races here are compact and sociable, with a strong club presence and entry fees that stay reasonable. Derry's riverside paths along the Foyle and Bangor's seafront on Belfast Lough are as flat as you will find, while anything in the Mournes or on the Antrim hills comes with real climbing. The season runs from early spring through to the autumn, with a cluster of summer evening 10Ks and a few festive races in December. Most events put a 5K or a fun run on the same programme; the race page lists every distance with a link to the official entry.
