West Pinchbeck 10K Fast. Flat. Community-focused. The West Pinchbeck 10K returns in 2026 under the Trident Sports Events banner, bringing new energy to a much-loved local road race. Known for its flat, fast fenland route and friendly village atmosphere, this is a 10K that appeals just as much to first-timers as it does to seasoned runners chasing a personal best. After a short break, we’re proud to be bringing the event back — keeping everything runners loved about West Pinchbeck, while adding the organisation, support and finish-line experience Trident Sports Events is known for. Expect clear course marking, enthusiastic marshals, professional timing and a quality finisher’s medal for everyone who crosses the line. True to the Trident ethos, the West Pinchbeck 10K is inclusive and welcoming. There are no cut-off times, walkers are encouraged, and the focus is on enjoyment, achievement and community rather than pressure or ego. Whether you’re taking on your first ever 10K or lining up to push the pace, you’ll be supported every step of the way. If you’re looking for a well-run, friendly race with a proven, PB-friendly course — and a finish line you’ll be proud to reach — the West Pinchbeck 10K is the perfect choice.

The Bath & Bristol Railway Races follow the route of the original train line from Green Park Station in Bath to Bristol Temple Meads and this route is the flattest of all the races in our calendar! The route is 100% tarmac, offering a road race like experience through the green countryside and into the heart of Bristol. The trainline was in use from 1869 - 1971 and between 1979 and 1986, Sustrans converted the railway path into whatwould become the first route on the National Cycle Network. Along the route you will find historic and active nods to the routes heritage. The Half Marathon runs out and back to Bitton Train Station, with 2.5km in each direction running alongside the Avon Valley Railway, an active heritage line that still runs on the original route today. The 25km, Marathon and 50km run alongside the Avon Valley Railway station at Bitton and onwards to Bristol, passing restored signal boxes, picturesque stations at Warmley and Mangotsfield. The 450m long Staple Hill Tunnel is on the route of the 25km, Marathon and 50km race. It is significantly larger than the tunnels at the Two Tunnels and Wye Valley Tunnel Run as the route had two railway lines running through the tunnel. The Staple Hill Tunnel is well lit.
