Takeley 10K 2026

The Takeley 10K Race is an off-road countryside run along the scenic Flitch Way, offering runners a challenging yet rewarding experience. Organizers have meticulously measured and marked each kilometre to ensure accuracy for participants. Each runner will wear a timing chip, allowing them to track their performance throughout the race.
Upon completing the distance, all 10K finishers receive both a commemorative T-shirt and medal as tokens of achievement. The event aims to raise funds for the redevelopment of Takeley's Village Hall and Sports & Social Club, enhancing community facilities in this picturesque village.
The race starts at 11am sharp with participants ranging from seasoned runners to recreational joggers. Given the nature of the terrain, which includes grass paths and bridleways, wheelchair entries are not accommodated due to safety concerns. However, a one-mile fun run begins promptly after the main event's finish around 1pm for those who wish to participate without registering in advance.
Registration is straightforward; simply arrive on race day with at least £2 donation towards the fundraising effort. The entry fee for the 10K race stands at £20 per participant, ensuring that all proceeds contribute directly to the charity cause.
The route itself features a mix of undulating terrain and stretches along paved roads leading up to the finish line. Water stations are strategically placed at approximately 2.5k and 7.5k marks, providing hydration support throughout the course.
First aid services will be available both on-site and en route for any unexpected medical needs during the race. The event concludes back at the Silver Jubilee Hall where runners can collect their finisher's items while enjoying a sense of accomplishment and community spirit.
For those interested in transferring entries or understanding safety measures, detailed instructions are provided within confirmation emails and risk assessments will be displayed prominently on notice boards for review by all participants.
This event not only offers an engaging challenge but also supports local development efforts through active participation.
