Make sure to pre-order your free limited edition First to Fast race performance t-shirt to collect from the race village on Thursday 4th September! This time round we're excited to partner with Trees not Tees, giving you the choice to opt out of receiving a race performance t-shirt and we'll plant a tree on your behalf instead.

We can't wait to see you there!

Frequently asked questions

I’ve run 10K before, but never in a race setting. Am I still considered a ‘first timer’?

Yes! Our First Timer wave is designed specifically for runners tackling their first official 10K race, regardless of whether you’ve hit the distance during training. You’ll be part of a supportive, celebratory wave made up of fellow first-time 10K racers, with a wide range of expected finish times.
