Race for Life Blackpool
Race for Life Blackpool takes place on Blackpool Promenade, with the start and finish next to the Comedy Carpet at the base of Blackpool Tower on the Tower Festival Headland. The main 10k follows a new 2026 course that uses surfaced promenade paths and consists of two laps of the 5k route. The route runs toward North Pier along the lower promenade with individual U-turns, climbs past the Hole in the Wall Café to the middle promenade, reaches a U-turn beyond the go-karting area and the war memorial, then repeats the same loop to the finish.
The course is predominantly flat with one short section of steep incline. Start and finish are on flat, hardstanding terrain. An alternative route is provided for wheelchair users and prams, and the event has been assessed as wheelchair accessible with assistance. Facilities listed for the event include refreshments, toilets, dogs allowed, suitability for pushchairs, and wheelchair access. There is no designated event parking or blue badge parking; a drop-off point is provided on the evening of the event and local car parks should be used for parking. Public transport options include nearby bus and tram links and a train station approximately 1.2 miles away.
Available distances:
- 10k
