Tenth edition of the popular 10-mile road race held at Derby Arena, also serving as the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire 10-mile championships.
The Derby 10 Mile returns to the Derby Arena on Sunday 15 November, marking the tenth edition of the race. It's a flat and fast course that starts and finishes at the arena, so you don't have to worry about getting to a separate start line. Along the way, the route takes you through the grounds of Elvaston Castle Country Park, which is one of the nicer stretches of running in the area.
If you're looking for a bit of help with your time, Northern Pacing Volunteers put out six pacing categories, from 1 hour 10 minutes up to 2 hours, so you can slot yourself into a group that matches your goal. When you cross the line, you'll get a bottle of water, a technical finishers t-shirt, and a medal. Epic Action Imagery will be out on the course taking photos, too, so there'll be a record of your run.
It's more than just a local race this year: it doubles as both the Derbyshire Athletics 10 Mile Championships and the Nottinghamshire Amateur Athletics Association 10 Mile Championships for 2026. Treetops Hospice is the official charity for the event. The race is also part of the RunDerby series, alongside the Carsington 7+ and Wilne 10k, with autumn and triple race packages available, and RunDerby gift vouchers that can be used against any of them.

On the day, the race starts at 10:00am, with runners called to the start area from 9:40am.

The race is licensed to the Association of Running Clubs (ARC Event Permit 26/0645) and runs under ARC Rules for Competition, with results, prizes, and course records awarded by gun time, and chip timing also provided by gun time.
