Runners are being urged to act quickly as entries for the Market Drayton 10K continue to fill at pace ahead of this year’s race.

The popular Shropshire event returns on Sunday 10 May 2026, with strong early demand pushing the race close to capacity. With a field limit in place and a reputation for selling out, organisers are warning that remaining places are limited.

Starting and finishing at Grove School, the race offers a well established 10K route that attracts a wide mix of runners, from those chasing a personal best to first timers taking on the distance. Its friendly atmosphere and reliable organisation have helped make it a regular fixture on the Midlands running calendar.

Organised by Tim Beckett and his experienced team, the event continues to grow in popularity thanks to its community feel and consistent delivery year after year. Local support plays a key role, with volunteers and spectators helping to create a welcoming race day experience.

With entries available on a first come basis and numbers rising steadily, runners considering taking part are encouraged to secure their place soon.

Entries remain open on BookitZone, but they are not expected to stay that way for long.
