Welcome to the Caerphilly 10K
The Caerphilly 10K is set to return in 2027 on Sunday 9 May along with the Caerphilly 2k.
With 3,700 runners of all abilities expected to descend on Caerphilly from across the country to enjoy the event, we are looking to the 2027 event to be bigger and better.
Set in the shadow of the spectacular Caerphilly Castle, the Caerphilly 10k will both start and finish on Crescent Road. Runners will have the opportunity to run a good time on a redesigned course, created following runner feedback and offering a flatter, more consistent route through the town centre. The course will lead participants in and around the town centre, passing iconic landmarks including the giant cheese sculpture and Tommy Cooper statue along the way and offering great views of the medieval castle, which dominates as the stunning backdrop to the event.
The course record was set by Dewi Griffiths in 2024 who passed the finish line in 29 minutes and 12 seconds. Olivia Tsim holds the female course record in a time of 34.58. Many elite and competitive entrants are expected to try and take on the record for 2026.
The event is organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council, and is supported by Welsh Athletics and Sport Wales.
