Event information

The Leicester 10K is one of the region’s biggest and best-loved charity road runs! 

Participants of all abilities and ages are invited to take part, whether that be as part of fundraising efforts or for their own goal or reason.

Run For All continues to deliver a safe and secure environment for all participants. 

With a city centre start and finish, runners will set off from Jubilee Square before heading into the city centre and into the beautiful greenery of Victoria Park.  

The scenic landscape of the park will then weave runners through the University of Leicester before passing many of the city’s landmarks including the Leicester Museum & Art Gallery and Leicester Cathedral. Participants will then head back towards the city centre for the electric finish line on Jubilee Square. 

This is a stunning route in the heart of the Midlands - don't miss out. Sign up today!

Give your trainers a new ‘lace of life’ with JogOn

Check out our brand-new partnership with JogOn!

We are inviting you to part ways with unwanted old trainers that you may have previously thrown out. Drop-off stations will be made readily available next to the Race Office, located in the Event Village on the Knavesmire.

Trainers will then be sent onto the JogOn HQ, ready to be passed on for a new lease of life and redistributed to those who need them most. Where possible, the JogOn Again scheme enables the reuse of unwanted shoes by giving them to those in need, through distribution by partners in eleven hubs around the world. Where reuse is not an option for the shoes they are shredded, and their remains are reused for other purposes.

To find out more about this fantastic initiative, please visit their website below:

Keeping Leicester green

We are committed to keeping Leicester green and we understand the importance of doing our bit for the environment. Bins will be provided across the event site and we urge people to use the facilities provided.

Let’s work together to Keep Leicester green and encourage other runners to do the same.

Pacers

The team are looking forward to supporting you on your run. Each pacer will have a flag attached to them with finish times and will run at a steady pace. If you keep up with them, you’ll be able to achieve the time on the flag.
Our pacers will be pacing at five-minute intervals between sub-40 minutes to 1 hour 15 minutes.

They’re all very friendly, so feel free to have a chat with them before the event, and be sure to say thanks once you’ve crossed the finish line!
