Hull 10k Race Cancelled Due to Roadworks
13 Apr
Summary
- The 2026 Hull 10k road race has been cancelled due to ongoing city roadworks.
- Organisers cited significant impacts on the event route and an inability to find a safe alternative date.
- Runners with existing entries have been contacted, and organisers are planning for a 2027 return.
The 2026 Hull 10k road race, an annual event held in memory of Jane Tomlinson CBE, has been cancelled by organisers Run For All. This decision was made due to "ongoing roadworks across the city" that significantly impact the planned route.
Officials confirmed that after already rescheduling the event once to accommodate rugby league fixtures, the persistent roadworks have forced a complete cancellation. They stated they were unable to identify a suitable alternative date that would ensure the safety of participants.
Run For All has organised the Hull 10K for over a decade, during which thousands of runners have raised substantial funds for local charities. The race had previously moved away from the city centre in 2025 due to similar roadworks, taking place at Hull Kingston Rovers' Craven Park stadium for the second consecutive year.
Runners who had already entered the 2026 event have been informed of the cancellation. Organisers are reportedly in consultation with Hull City Council and are actively working towards agreeing a date for the event's return in 2027, reaffirming their commitment to delivering inclusive road races.
