Kingston 10k

The Kingston 10k takes place on 22 November 2026 in Kingston, Greater London, UK. The race has a single format, a 10K starting at 09:00.

A morning 10K in late autumn lends itself well to setting a benchmark time: the cool temperatures limit dehydration and the format fits into a morning with no complicated logistics. The warm-up, however, deserves to be longer, fifteen to twenty minutes of easy running followed by a few strides, or the first kilometres will cost you dearly. For a first 10K, a sensible goal is to run the second half as fast as the first; for more experienced runners, the distance often serves as a pace test ahead of spring half marathons.
