The 3 Bridges 10k race returns to Lancaster on Sunday 19 April 2026, offering runners of all abilities a chance to compete on a scenic course along the River Lune. Starting at 11am from the clubhouse of the Lancaster & Morecambe Athletic Club at Salt Ayre Leisure Centre, the event is open to everyone from beginners to marathon trainees.
The race is now organised by Lancaster Race Series and follows a certified 10-kilometre route. Participants will cross the river three times, passing over the Millennium Bridge, the Aqueduct Bridge, and the Greyhound Bridge. Because parts of the course run on public roads, organisers have confirmed that headphones are not permitted during the race.
Entry fees vary based on runner status. Online registration is £21 for athletes affiliated with a club, £23 for unaffiliated runners, and £17 for members of the Lancaster Runners Club. For those choosing to enter on the day of the race, fees increase to £25 for affiliated and unaffiliated runners, while Lancaster Runners Club members will pay £20.
Every finisher will receive a medal for completing the course. Additionally, the event will provide prizes for the first three male and first three female finishers. The race is licensed by UK Athletics, ensuring the course distance is accurate for all participants.
