The Harrogate 10k is back on Sunday 28 June 2026, once again taking runners through the scenic Crimple Valley on one of Yorkshire’s most popular summer road races.
The event is sponsored by Harmony Energy, and organised by Harrogate Harriers & AC.
It starts at 10am from Harrogate Sports and Fitness Centre, with a scenic multi-terrain route combining road and off-road sections through the Crimple Valley. The race is UKA-licensed and chip-timed, with results sent to runners shortly after finishing.
Last year’s event attracted 684 finishers and drew widespread praise for its community atmosphere, welcoming volunteers, and top-class organisation. Runners have described the event as “just like a big party” and “the best club-run event I have ever attended.”
The popular Junior Fun Run returns alongside the main race, giving children of all
ages and abilities the chance to experience the buzz of race day. Kids’ runs take place before the 10k start.
Dan Atkinson, Race Director at Harrogate Harriers, said:
Each year we deliver an iconic mixed terrain course, an amazing race village experience and terrific post-race goodies way beyond what competitors might expect, with first rate support from our enthusiastic and supportive marshals. It’s a brilliant advert for both our town and running club
Peter Kavanagh, CEO of Harmony Energy, said:
The Harmony Energy Run Harrogate 10k has become a real highlight of the summer calendar, and we’re proud to be marking our fifth year as title sponsor.
The dedication of the Harrogate Harriers volunteers and the enthusiasm of everyone who takes part, from competitive runners to first-timers, is genuinely inspiring. We can’t wait to see the start line on 28 June.
Entry is priced at £21, or £19 for UKA-affiliated runners. The Junior Fun Run costs
