St. Ives 10km & 3km Fun Run

The 10km race consists of an undulating "out & back" course on mainly traffic free roads. Taking runners from the outskirts of St. Ives town, along a quiet rural lane, to the taxiways of RAF Wyton airfield, before returning to the finish at St. Ives One Leisure Outdoor Centre.

The 3km fun run will both start and finish on the Synthetic Athletics Track at the Outdoor Centre. Runners will complete 1 lap of the Track before running out onto the soft grass fields around the complex before returning for the final lap, and the finish line.
