City of Lincoln 10K
The City of Lincoln 10 km is a road race held in Lincoln on Sunday 12 April 2026. The course starts on Riseholme Road and finishes near Lincoln Cathedral. The route is described as fast and flat and passes city landmarks such as the Roman Walls, Lincoln Cathedral and surrounding gardens.
Entrants must be 15 years or over on event day. The event uses chip timing and includes a finisher’s goody bag, an exclusive medal and an option to pre-order a finisher t-shirt. Race numbers are posted to UK addresses registered in advance; other participants can collect numbers from the Race Office on the event weekend. Designated baggage stores are provided at Yarborough Leisure Centre Car Park for drop off and at The Lawn Car Park for post-race collection.
The Event Village is located at Lincoln Castle and offers food and drink for purchase and space for partner charities. On course support includes water stations supplying 330 ml bottles, recycling bins at water stations, pacers with finish time flags, allocated toilets around the stadium and medical teams with fixed first aid stations and a first aid unit near the finish. MarathonPhotos will take photographs on course.
Travel options listed are car, train and on foot. Road approaches to Lincoln are likely to be busier than usual and some car parks are a short walk from the start. Recycling and trainer drop-off stations will be available to support sustainability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
