Everything you need to know about the Blackpool Beaverbrooks 10k including times, tickets, and route

Blackpool’s annual Beaverbrooks 10k Fun Run returns on Sunday 10 May 2026, continuing a tradition that has raised thousands for local charities over more than four decades.

The event, which starts at 11am, has become a familiar date in the town’s calendar, drawing a mix of serious runners, casual joggers and groups taking part for fun.

Route along the promenade

The 10k course sticks to a straightforward out-and-back route along the seafront. Starting outside the Savoy Hotel near Gynn Square, runners head south on a traffic-free stretch of promenade, passing the Golden Mile before turning around at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort.

The return leg follows the same path north to the finish. Organisers say the route is fully marshalled, with water stations and first aid support in place.

Open to all abilities

Entry is open to anyone aged 11 and over, with a wheelchair category included.

While some participants will be aiming for personal bests, others take a more relaxed approach, with fancy dress a regular feature. The emphasis remains on accessibility rather than competition.

Cost and what’s included

Entry costs £18 for adults and £15 for children aged 11–15.

Registration includes chip timing and a finisher’s medal, though the event’s appeal largely rests on its simplicity and community atmosphere rather than added extras.

Entry to the Beaverbrooks Blackpool 10k Fun Run is still open, and runners also have the option to buy a bespoke 2026 Fun Run t-shirt.
