Morecambe Festival of Running

Morecambe Festival of Running - January

The Morecambe Festival of Running in Heysham is a seaside event organised by Lancaster Race Series that offers multiple race distances on the promenade. The courses are described as out-and-back and generally flat, with views across the bay.

Race packs must be collected from race HQ on the day; nothing is posted. The event includes finisher medals, refreshments such as tea or coffee and biscuits, prizes for top finishers, toilets, and drinks stations. Participants may wear fancy dress but should take care because roads and cycleways are not closed to the public.

Practical details include roadside parking available along the promenade at about 1 km from the start and a pay and display car park in the village centre. The closest train station is Morecambe and local bus routes numbered 2x and 5 pass near the venue.

Participant feedback cited good marshal support and attractive promenade scenery, and also noted occasional congestion at narrow sections, limited signage, and queueing for facilities at the start in some editions. These comments reflect a mix of positive and critical observations about course layout and on-site logistics.

Available distances

• 5k course along the promenade
• 10k course out and back on the promenade
• 10 mile course out and back on the promenade

Age requirements apply by distance and entrants collect numbers on race day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
