Run the Bideford 10k and support Children’s Hospice South West! Runners of all abilities are welcome and will receive a 2025 medal bespoke to each of our races as well as a t-shirt. The course starts and finishes close to the Bideford Amateur Athletic Club clubhouse taking in the views of the Taw and Torridge estuary between Bideford and Instow. The course heads out on the road on Instow and returns on the Tarka Trail. It is moderately flat with only two small inclines. View the race programme.

Each year our Bideford 10k raises funds for and makes a donation to Children’s Hospice South West. This year our race will be held in memory and celebration of the life of Eddie Farwell, Co-Founder and retiring CEO who sadly died on 27 March 2025.

We are proud that this year’s race is part of the England Age Group Masters Programme as a 10k Qualifier. To compete to qualify for England Masters you must sign-up to the Bideford 10k as normal AND register via England Athletics.
