Reading Town 10K Charity

The Reading Rivermead 10K, scheduled for October 17, 2027, is a fast and flat charity race that takes runners through the scenic King's Meadow Playing Fields. Known for its accurate course measurement and ideal conditions for personal bests, this event features four laps around the picturesque Thames Lido Napier Road area.
The route offers a mix of pathways (70%) and fields (30%), providing both smooth running surfaces and grassy stretches that add variety to the race experience. Participants can expect water stations along the course, ensuring hydration throughout their run. The event also includes changing facilities, toilets, and baggage storage for convenience.
Awards are given to the top three male and female runners in a ceremony that celebrates achievements with bespoke medals and spot prizes. This is an England Athletics affiliated event, complete with first aid support on site. Runners can register on the day of the race at Hills Meadow Car Park (RG4 8DH), which offers ample parking for £3.50 per two hours or £6.50 for five hours.
The Reading Rivermead 10K is not just a run; it's an opportunity to support Sport In Mind, a charity that uses sport and physical activity to improve mental health and wellbeing. Join the community of runners aiming to challenge themselves while giving back to a worthy cause.
