Telford 10K 2026
Telford Athletics Club stages the 10 km event at Telford International Centre on 13 December 2026. The race uses a generally flat, two-lap traffic-free tarmac route through Telford Town Park and the Silkin Way, a former railway line. The course is UK Athletics licensed and has certified measurement. An alternative, slightly hillier route was used in a recent year because of a landslide; the usual route is expected to be used when available.
Entries are organised in waves and the event includes an inter area match and the Shropshire AA Championship for eligible athletes. Organisers describe the course as statistically proven as the fastest 10k course in the UK, and recent editions produced an increasing number of sub-30 and sub-35 finishes, with a record 58 runners under 30 minutes in 2024 based on chip time. A bespoke metal medal is provided to each finisher.
There are designated elite fields and cash prizes for the first five men and first five ladies in the elite races with a separate prize for a new course record. Masters category prizes are awarded across age groups and there is an advertised entry price of £20. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
