Kielder Marathon Weekend is renowned for its Marathon and Half Marathon, but the Altra Kielder 10K has earned a reputation as one of the most enjoyable ways to experience this spectacular Northumberland setting. Offering a shorter challenge without compromising on scenery, it's an ideal choice for runners of all abilities.

Starting and finishing beside Kielder Water, the 10K takes competitors onto forest trails and lakeside paths, delivering the breathtaking landscapes that have made Kielder Marathon Weekend one of the UK's most distinctive running festivals. Every mile offers stunning views across the reservoir and surrounding forest, creating an unforgettable race experience.

The 10K is perfect for runners taking their first steps into trail running, those looking for a fast and enjoyable autumn challenge, or supporters who want to be part of the weekend while friends and family tackle the longer distances. It's also an excellent opportunity to experience the unique atmosphere of one of Britain's best-loved running festivals.

Away from the 10K, Kielder Marathon Weekend offers a packed programme of events including the Marathon, Half Marathon, Gravel Duathlon and junior races, ensuring there's something for runners and families throughout the weekend. The festival atmosphere, enthusiastic volunteers and spectacular setting combine to create a memorable occasion for everyone involved.

Whether you're chasing a new personal best on the trails or simply looking to enjoy an unforgettable run in one of England's most beautiful national parks, the Altra Kielder 10K delivers an experience that's every bit as rewarding as its longer counterparts. Entries remain open, but places are limited, so runners should secure their place while they still can.
