FARM RUN 10K 2026 – I’M RUNNING IT!

On Sunday 27 September 2026, I’ll be taking part in the Farm Run 10K at Bishop Burton College, Beverley.

The 10K starts and finishes at Bishop Burton College and takes runners along the local roads through the beautiful surrounding countryside and villages, including Cherry Burton and Etton.

More than 600 athletes have already entered, with places available for up to 800 runners.

I’m looking forward to taking on the challenge, enjoying the countryside and being part of this great community event.

Will you join me?

Whether you’re an experienced runner or simply looking for a new challenge, you’re very welcome to join me for the Farm Run 10K.

Leeds Running Festival 2026

Taking part in the Leeds Running Festival 2026 was a special milestone for me — it was my first ever 10K race.

My goal was simple: to finish my first 10K in under 60 minutes. I set 60 minutes as my personal limit — a target that would challenge me to keep running and not give up when it became difficult.

I crossed the finish line in 58 minutes and 38 seconds, with a recorded distance of 10.25 km and an average pace of 5:42 per kilometre.

But the experience was about much more than the time. What made the event special was the atmosphere — surrounded by athletes, supporters and genuinely kind people. There was a wonderful sense of encouragement, respect and consideration between people, creating an atmosphere that made everyone feel part of something positive.

The event was a great success for me, and I came away with great memories, a first 10K medal and even more motivation for the next challenge.

For me, running is about consistency, discipline and continuing to move forward, one step and one kilometre at a time.

You don’t have to be the fastest. You just have to keep moving forward.

This is only the beginning of my running journey, and I am already looking forward to the next race with renewed motivation.
