Event information

The Grand East Anglia Run (GEAR) 10K takes a scenic route through the historic market town of King’s Lynn. The course is flat and suitable for all, making it an enormously popular event, so get this fun and friendly spring event booked!

The route makes its way through the town’s picturesque centre, taking participants past the Red Mount Chapel and Harding’s Pit, before taking them down the River Ouse pathway and returning to Market Place for the finish line by the Corn Exchange.

Why run this event?

Having sold out for the last few years, the Gear 10K promises to be a great one, with thousands of runners lacing up to take part, be it for fundraising or fitness. And there will be plenty of spectators to keep you motivated, with multiple cheer points and two entertainment points stations along the course.

What's included?

  • Finisher medal 
  • Chip timing 
  • Goody bag
  • Optional finisher's t-shirt 
Entrants must be aged 15 years or over on the day of the race.

Run For All encourages people of all abilities to take part in the Gear 10K event. Please get in touch if you require any further assistance on the day of the race, or have any specific requirements.

Sustainablity

Keeping King's Lynn green

Recycling bins will be provided on course at each water station - we ask that you please use this to do help us do our bit for the environment. If you want to hold on to your water beyond the provided bins, please pass any litter to your nearest marshal when finished.

We are in partnership with JogOn to help reduce the environmental impact that large running events can have. By working with JogOn, we help to reduce the waste of running shoes that end up in landfill every year by giving them a new life. Trainers are either reused by giving them to those in need, or shredded and their remains used for other purposes. Drop off stations will be made readily available throughout the Event Village for you to drop off any old or unwanted trainers so they can be given a new lease of life.

We encourage our participants to travel sustainably where possible by taking public transport or car sharing to reduce traffic emissions.

Headphones on event day

You are allowed to wear headphones as you make your way around the course, however they must be bone conducting. We ask that the volume is kept low to ensure that you can hear the marshal's instructions, as well as any emergency vehicles or your fellow competitors.

Our official headphone partner Shokz uses bone conducting technology to ensure you can still hear your surroundings. There is a 15% discount offer for all Run For All entrants. To receive this discount, entrants must purchase Shokz headphones via Up & Running and use our specific code. To receive the discount code, please contact our admin team via our contact form.
