Summer 10k

Summer 10k

The Summer 10k is a 10 km trail race on 10 July 2026 at Coombe Abbey Park, CV3 2AB, Coventry. The route runs through woodland, meadow and grass fields and is normally completed as two laps. Participants pass the water station four times.

Surfaces include exposed tree roots, uneven ground and a few gates. The course is undulating but not hilly and is generally firmer in midsummer; conditions may be muddy or hard depending on recent weather. The route may be subject to last minute changes and will be marked on race day. A GPX file is available for the course.

Event facilities include a toilet block next to the event headquarters. On-site parking costs up to £3 for one to two hours. The venue is on the outskirts of Coventry and is near Junction 2 of the M6; the closest train station is Coventry.

This event provides water and electrolyte in biodegradable cups on the course; participants may bring a collapsible cup but this is not required. Medals and participant goodies are provided, with an alternative Big Bear Tree Token offered instead of a medal; each token results in a tree being planted and contains wildflower seeds. Dogs are not permitted due to warm conditions. There is an effective cut-off of two hours based on medical cover and daylight. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
