Blackpool Festival of Running 2027
The Blackpool Festival of Running takes place over a weekend in the coastal town of Blackpool on Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th April 2027. The programme spreads races across two days: Saturday features shorter events, and Sunday features the longer road races.
The event offers the following race distances and formats:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10k
- 5k
- 2k
Events use staggered start times, allowing participants to enter multiple races across the weekend. Races run on routes through the streets of Blackpool and include views of the seaside.
All finishers in every event receive a finisher medal. In addition, finishers in the marathon and half marathon receive a commemorative technical t-shirt. Information is provided for competitors, spectators, results, photos, and road closures as part of the event administration.
The festival is presented as a multi-event running weekend with a range of race distances, logistics that support multiple entries, and standard finisher recognition across events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
