The Croydon 10km road race attracts experienced and beginner runners

Croydon Harriers have confirmed that the 2018 Croydon 10km road race will be staged on Sunday October 21, with a course that loops around Lloyd Park.

The race regularly attracts a field of more than 500 runners and is one of the most well-supported races in the are. The race is open to experienced racers and to beginners who want to set themselves a target event to build up to.

There is also a 3km fun run for 9-14-year-olds.

For 2018, there is a new “Championship” race entry system, with a free category for club runners who have achieved a demanding qualifying standard during the year.
