Event overview

The Heritage Coast Run takes place on 03 May 2026 at the Ogilvie Pavilion in Thorpeness, Suffolk (IP16 4LX). The event is organised by a volunteer group that supports national and local charities. The event status is open and the closing date for entries is 02 May 2026.

Distances

• 10k - runners only.
• 10k canicross - runners with dogs; dogs must be kept on leads at all times.
• Half marathon - runners only.

Course and logistics

The course is mainly off road with some sandy trails and undulations along the coast. The 10k and half marathon share the same route until the 10k turnaround on the beach just past Sizewell B. The half marathon then follows a further loop between Minsmere and Dunwich before returning to rejoin the 10k route at Sizewell and route back to Thorpeness for the finish. The run will be organised in waves and the finish area is the same as the start area. Free car parking is available on site. A waiting area will be outside the Ogilvie Pavilion; toilets and refreshments will be available. A final briefing pack will provide precise arrangements nearer the event.

Entries and prices

Entry limits shown are 200 for the half marathon, 60 for the 10k canicross, and 250 for the 10k runners entry. Early and later prices apply per event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
