Join Team SpecialEffect for the 2026 London 10k in July – or maybe next year’s London Marathon! There’s a warm welcome (and a fabulous running shirt) waiting for you if you’re up for the challenge!

2026 London 10k, Sunday 25 July

The iconic London 10k takes place on Sunday 25 July this year, with thousands of runners taking over central London’s streets, racing past world-famous landmarks on a completely closed-road route. From live bands and DJs to roaring crowds and finish-line high fives, it’s an unforgettable day that captures the spirit of London at its best.

With over 150 Team Specialeffect runners taking part it’s also the biggest event in our own challenge events calendar, so there’s a guaranteed atmosphere of celebration and community, right from the warm hello at our charity tent to the excitement of crossing the finish line. Registration is £25
