Entries for the 2026 Ivybridge 10K are approaching 250 and still coming in steadily
The race will take place on Saturday 23rd May with the usual 6.30pm start from the Rugby Club.
We are expecting the usual bumper entry so enter early.
We have kept the prices the same as in 2025 so with the unique race T-shirt as a memento it is fantastic value
(Much cheaper that others taking place in this area)
For more details go to our race page here >>>

We really need the help of all our members and parents of juniors. We have a few away this year so we need a few more volunteers
to step up. Please let Keith know if you can help. We are also looking for an additional sponsor if anyone has contacts.
Again just let Keith know.
