The Liverpool Women's 10K and 5K takes place on Sunday 6 September 2026, bringing runners together in Sefton Park for an event dedicated entirely to women. With both 5K and 10K distances available, the day is designed to welcome everyone from first time participants to experienced runners looking for an enjoyable challenge in one of Liverpool's best known parks.

Starting and finishing within Sefton Park, both routes make full use of the park's broad paths and green surroundings. The setting offers a relaxed race day atmosphere while remaining close to the heart of the city. Whether choosing the shorter 5K or stepping up to the 10K, runners can expect an accessible course in an attractive location.

Every finisher receives chip timing, an exclusive medal, a finisher's T-shirt and a goody bag, adding to the occasion. Race numbers are posted in advance wherever possible, helping make race morning straightforward, while an all female marshalling team supports participants throughout the event and reinforces its welcoming ethos.

The event also celebrates an important part of Liverpool's sporting heritage. During the 1980s, the city played a pioneering role in encouraging women's participation in organised running, with Sefton Park hosting the original Liverpool Women's 10K. Reviving the event in its historic home recognises that legacy while inspiring a new generation of runners.

Beyond the race itself, Sefton Park provides an impressive backdrop with its wide open spaces, mature trees and historic parkland. The combination of a city location and a spacious green setting creates an experience that is as enjoyable for supporters as it is for participants, making the day about far more than simply crossing the finish line.

Whether you're preparing for your very first organised run, returning to the sport after time away or aiming to improve over 5K or 10K, the Liverpool Women's 10K and 5K offers an encouraging environment where every participant is welcomed. It is a chance to enjoy a memorable day in one of Liverpool's most recognisable parks while celebrating the strength of women's running.
