In Support of Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone

We're delighted to have Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone as our 2026 Charity of the Year. Blackburn & Darwen Youth Zone is a purpose-built, safe space for young people aged 0–25. It’s somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk to — a place where young people can feel safe, supported, and inspired every single day.

To sign up to run for them, [click here](https://runforcharity.com/charity-registration/blackburn-darwen-youth-zone/blackburn-10k/register).

The Blackburn 10K returns after another successful year, proudly hosted at Ewood Park in partnership with Blackburn Rovers Community Trust. Starting and finishing inside the stadium, the route heads out around Blackburn town centre, taking in key local landmarks before bringing runners back for a memorable stadium finish.

Blackburn Rovers Community Trust is committed to using the power of football to support the local area through grassroots sport, education, and inclusion programmes. Their work helps bring people together across Blackburn and Darwen, making this event welcoming for runners of all ages and backgrounds.

The event is made possible with the support of Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council, who play an integral role in enabling road closures and local coordination to deliver a safe and well-organised race.

With RunThrough, you can expect a lively event village and clear guidance from our on-course team. After your run, enjoy food, drink and free finish-line goodies from our partners.

You can add an official event t-shirt to your entry at checkout for more than 30% off. Produced in partnership with RT Kit, it features the event logo on the chest and is the perfect keepsake to celebrate your race. Offering the t-shirt as an optional extra helps us keep entry costs lower for runners who prefer not to include merchandise.
