A popular distance for beginners looking to move up from 5K's

10K runs are the most popular race distance - at just over 6 miles it's an achievable challenge for beginners. A 10K run is also a great event for seasoned runners chasing personal bests or using it as a stepping stone to longer distances. Because of their popularity, there are always hundreds of 10K runs to choose from.

13.1 miles - can you beat two hours?

Half marathons are a classic distance every runner can aspire to achieve. At 13.1 miles, it's incredibly popular as an ideal step up after a 10K or 10 mile race. The half marathon is ideal for the busy runner who's still looking for a classic challenge.

Long and short massed-start road rides

Sportives are mass-participation cycling events over a variety of distances, usually on the road and over the course of a single day. They're typically well sign-posted with feeding stations and mechanical support along the route.

The perfect starting point for beginners

Beginner-friendly triathlons are ideal for the first-time triathlete as well as those looking to improve. They're typically as short or shorter than 'super sprint' triathlons, and pool-based swims and the transitions give you the chance to catch your breath.
