Active Training World : Telford 10K 2026
Statistically proven as the fastest 10k course in the UK. This is a generally flat 2 lap traffic free, very well sheltered tarmac course using Telford Town Park, and the Silkin Way (a former railway line). Last year we used the slightly hillier alternative course due to a landslide on our usual route. We hope to be back to our usual route this year.
Race headquarters next to the start is again at Telford International Centre. UK Athletics licensed event and certified course measurement.
The event is open to runners of ALL abilities and particularly those wishing to achieve a personal best time.
New bespoke metal medal to each finisher.
