Blackpool Festival of Running 2026
The Blackpool Festival of Running takes place in the coastal town of Blackpool on 25 and 26 April 2026. The weekend features a range of road races held across two days and includes dedicated information for competitors, spectators, results and photos.
Saturday focuses on the shorter distance events while Sunday features the longer distance races. All events use staggered start times so competitors can enter more than one event if desired.
Events include:
- Marathon
- Half marathon
- 10k
- 5k
- 2k
Every finisher in all events receives a finisher medal. Finishers in the marathon and half marathon also receive a commemorative technical t shirt.
The event materials reference road closures and competitor information to support race logistics. The description notes the seaside setting of Blackpool as the backdrop for the races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
