Carnival 10K Run

Get Ready to Dash, Dance, and Dazzle at the Market Harborough Carnival 10K – The Healthiest Hootenanny of the Year!

🏃‍♂️✨ Gear up, glam up, and gallop on over because we’re back to shake up the streets with a foot-tapping, heart-pumping fiesta! That’s right, the annual Carnival 10K is BIGGER, BOLDER, and ready to transform the town into a racetrack of revelry, all wrapped up in a wellness wonderland!

As the summer sun winks at Market Harborough, we invite you to join a marathon of merriment that begins and ends with a blaze of glory at the Carnival Showground. Picture it: you, all charged up, darting through cheers that could drown out the roar of a rock concert, zipping past the snug, shop-lined Market Harborough Town Centre with vibes so vibrant you could surf on ’em!

Craving a slice of serenity? You got it! The route will whisk you away for a dreamy date with the Grand Union Canal’s waterscapes, before swooping back through the heart of history at the Old Grammar School. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, brace for a grand finale sprint around the Showground that’ll have you beaming brighter than a grand marquee!

Cross the FINISH LINE and what’s this? A medal that also unlocks an afternoon and evening of UNLIMITED Carnival Music and Fun? No way! Oh yes, we’re not done spoiling you. Because when has wellness ever looked this fun?

But wait, there’s more heart in this hustle! The theme for 2024 is HEALTH AND WELLBEING, because we care about every heartbeat in this town. Your race entry doesn’t just clock miles; it funds lifesaving defibs for Market Harborough, making each step a stride for community welfare. Look at you, being all heroic without even trying!

Don’t just spectate—participate! Sign up, snag your information pack full of juicy details. Hurry, though – this isn’t our first rodeo. With 2022 and 2023 selling out faster than free flapjacks at a pancake party, we don’t want you left on the sidelines. 🥞😉

Mark the date: Saturday 8th June 2024. There is a 90-minute cut off to ensure everyone’s safety, and due to twists and twirls of our historic course, it’s not wheelchair-friendly, unfortunately.

SIGN UP now to secure your spot on the starting line of Market Harborough’s biggest block party on the run. We can’t wait to cheer you on as you make a dash for triumph—and a splash in Carnival lore!
