Summer 10k
Coventry, United Kingdom • 10 Jul 2026
Event
The Summer 10k is a 10k trail race held at Coombe Abbey Park, Coventry on 10 July 2026. The venue is on the outskirts of Coventry (CV3 2AB), about six minutes from Junction 2 of the M6; the closest train station is Coventry. Parking at the park can cost up to £3 for 1-2 hours. A toilet block is located next to the race headquarters.
Course and route
The route runs through woodland, meadow and grass fields with exposed tree roots, uneven surfaces and a few gates to navigate. The course is undulating but not hilly and is typically run as two laps of the woodland and meadow, with the water station passed four times. A GPX file is available for the route; the course may be subject to last-minute changes and will be marked on race day.
Entry, services and rules
The event uses tiered pricing, with earlier entries cheaper, and no booking fee. Unaffiliated entrants pay an additional £2. Biodegradable cups with water or electrolyte will be provided on course; runners may bring a collapsible cup but this is not required. There is an option to receive a tree token instead of a medal; each token results in a tree being planted and contains wildflower seeds. Dogs are not permitted due to expected warm conditions. The effective cut-off is two hours, based on medic cover and sunset. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
