Back for 2026 after a successful first year, the Stroud 10k. Held alongside the famous Stroud Half Marathon, this is the perfect opportunity to start your half marathon journey. With a closed roads start and finish it promises to be an epic event.

The 10k will be a point to point event, with the start on Grove Lane (GL2 7NY) and returning to the finish at Marling School. The course promises to be fast and will be good for those looking for a new 10k PB.

We will be providing buses to the race start from Marling School, and you can book yours for just £5 when registering. Alternatively you can be dropped off at the start by friends or family. Please note that there is limited parking at the start area and it is a drop off point only.
