A well supported fixture returns to the Midlands calendar as the Rothley 10K takes place in Rothley, Leicestershire on Tuesday 2 June 2026, bringing a 10K road race into a lively midweek slot. With a 7.15pm start from Woodgate, the event combines competitive running with a strong community feel while continuing its support for LOROS Hospice.

The course follows a two lap route through Rothley and out towards Mountsorrel, using a mix of village roads and country lanes before looping back. It is a course that offers long runnable stretches with some gentle undulation, allowing runners to settle into rhythm while still needing to manage effort across both laps.

Now firmly established, the race regularly attracts large fields and continues to grow year on year. Its balance of accessibility and atmosphere makes it a popular choice for club runners and locals alike, with consistent support along sections of the route helping drive runners forward.

Entries are open with a straightforward structure, including early pricing tiers and limited capacity. The evening format, combined with an organised race village and supporting junior event, makes it an easy one to fit into the calendar for both runners and spectators.

This is a race that suits controlled pacing. The two lap layout gives a clear sense of effort and positioning, making it ideal for those looking to push a steady time or judge pace more effectively across the second half.
