Torbay Twilight 10km Race 2026 invites runners of all levels to experience an unforgettable evening at the Torbay Velopark. Whether you're just starting your running journey, aiming for personal bests, or competing against top athletes from across the country, this event offers something unique and exciting. The race kicks off with a children's fun run at 18:00, featuring a 1500m course designed specifically for young runners aged 6 to 14. This is followed by the main attraction — the 10km twilight race starting promptly at 19:00. Set against the backdrop of Torbay Velopark’s fast and flat tarmac surface, this event provides an ideal setting for athletes looking to push their limits. With six-and-three-quarter laps around the velodrome, runners will enjoy a smooth course that is perfect for achieving personal best times. The atmosphere at the velodrome promises to be electric, with music playing throughout the race to keep spirits high and energy levels up. For those signing up early, the first 100 participants in the 10km event receive a complimentary running vest as a souvenir of their participation. Finishers will also walk away with a finisher medal commemorating this special twilight run. The Torbay Velopark offers ample pay-and-display parking right next to the venue, but be mindful not to overhang your vehicle or risk incurring fines from an attentive attendant. Race day is capped at 250 participants, ensuring that everyone has enough space and attention on course. In addition to the race itself, local food and drink vendors will line up along the event village to provide sustenance for both runners and spectators alike. While this is a non-refundable event, entrants can rest assured knowing their registration fee will be transferred should unforeseen circumstances such as adverse weather or public health guidelines necessitate postponement or cancellation. Any post-race inquiries must be directed directly to the race organizers promptly following the event for resolution. Participants agree to abide by UK Athletics rules and regulations under a full license, ensuring fair play throughout the competition. Marshals will guide runners along the route, maintaining safety standards while emphasizing that dogs are not permitted on course due to potential hazards they may pose. Join us at Torbay Velopark in 2026 for an evening of camaraderie, personal challenge, and community spirit as we celebrate running under the twilight sky.
