Leighton 10K 2026

On Sunday, September 6th, 2026, runners are invited to lace up their shoes and join us for an engaging multi-terrain 10K race that winds through the picturesque trails, parklands, and roads surrounding Leighton Buzzard. The event begins at a scenic location in Pages Park on Billington Road, with the same venue serving as the finish line.
This race offers a unique blend of terrain challenges, including stretches of woodland paths and open fields within and around Pages Park, providing runners with an exhilarating experience that showcases both natural beauty and well-maintained pathways. The course is designed to cater to athletes seeking a mix of flat sections and slight elevation changes, making it ideal for those looking to improve their personal bests or simply enjoy the run.
Participants can anticipate a supportive atmosphere as they navigate through the race, with volunteers stationed at various points along the route offering encouragement and assistance. Additionally, the event is organized under ARC Permit No: 26/0111, ensuring that all aspects of safety and fair play are meticulously managed by Race Referee Nigel Bush.
All proceeds from this event will benefit Leighton Buzzard Mencap, a local charity dedicated to supporting individuals with learning disabilities. This race not only serves as an opportunity for runners to challenge themselves but also contributes positively towards the community's well-being.
The 10K distance is carefully planned to accommodate both competitive athletes and recreational runners alike, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the scenic route while making a meaningful impact through their participation. Join us in Leighton Buzzard for what promises to be an unforgettable day of running and giving back.
