About Run The Lights 5K & 10K
Run The Lights takes place on Blackpool Promenade on 15 August 2026, with both 5K and 10K options starting and finishing at the Blackpool Tower Festival Headland. The flat road courses are accurately measured and traffic-managed, passing Blackpool Tower and Blackpool Pleasure Beach as they head along the seafront. Runners will experience the famous Blackpool Illuminations during the evening race, which is held under a UK Athletics licence.
The event suits runners of all abilities, from those aiming for a personal best to those taking on their first organised race. Chip timing, water stations and aid points support competitors throughout the evening.
