Taking place on Sunday 30 June 2024, the race will start and finish at The Glass Works in the town centre. The event is being organised by the Sport and Physical Activity team (Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council) as part of the #WhatsYourMove campaign, and we are delighted to have been chosen as the official charitable partner!

Event Details

The race route will pass through Barnsley town centre, Wilthorpe and Redbrook before looping back around at the Claycliffe Road area. See the map below for more details.

All finishers of the Barnsley 10k will receive a commemorative t-shirt to celebrate your achievement.

There will be prizes available for the following categories:

• First three male finishers and first three female finishers
• First male and female in following categories: V35, V40, V45, V50, V55, V60, V65, V70+

The event will be closed to traffic from 8.30 am to 11 am and the race will start at 9 am. The time limit for the event will be two hours. Runners still on route after this time will be asked to move on to pavements for safety. You can still finish and collect your post-race merchandise beyond this time.

How do I run for Barnsley Hospice?

As the event’s official charitable partner, we have been donated 50 free places for those who want to run in support of Barnsley Hospice. If you are successful in grabbing one of the 50 charity places, you are committing to raising a minimum of £100 sponsorship for the hospice.

These places are limited and we expect them to fill up fast, so we recommend signing up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. This also maximises your time for training and collecting as much sponsorship for the hospice as possible!

If you miss out on one of the free charity places, you can still take part in the 10K in support of Barnsley Hospice by registering for a paid entry through Barnsley Council.
