Each year, thousands of runners gather to take part in the Bespak Grand East Anglia Run (GEAR) 10K.
The wonderfully scenic route takes in the pretty town centre, River Ouse pathway and The Walks. Runners also pass famous landmarks such as the Custom House, Red Mount and Greyfriars Tower along the way.
The course is flat and suitable for all, making the event enormously popular. In fact, this event sold out the last few years. So, if you want to get a fun, friendly and fantastic spring event in your running diary, book your place now!

The Bespak GEAR 10K Corporate Challenge has become a key date in the East Anglian running calendar. It’s one of the region’s biggest annual events with a flat and fast course that attracts first-time runners and seasoned pros alike.
The Corporate Challenge is more inclusive of different teams from all backgrounds, including local businesses, sports teams, clubs, family, and friends.
This is a race within a race that sees teams battle it out to be crowned Corporate Challenge Champions. The race runs alongside the main event, but rather than competing as individuals, your challenge is to work collectively to cross the line in the quickest combined time.
The Corporate Challenge has been enjoyed by teams of all varieties, so gather the troops and enter a team to this year’s event.
In addition to being team-focused, the Corporate Challenge boasts a more premium package, with the inclusion of a few extra perks and benefits:
Teams will be kitted out in their own, personalised racing t-shirts. The shirts will be branded with your team name, logo and, should you be running for a particular cause, a charity logo too. By sporting these on the day, your team will be instantly recognisable – great for boosting your exposure and promoting your cause, charity, sport team, or business.
Team entries are granted access to race day hospitality. Here, you can escape the elements, meet your fellow competitors and take advantage of the free refreshments both before and after your run.
Your package also includes a digital team photo. Once we’ve captured your team’s pre-race enthusiasm, we’ll send you a link post-event – making for a great social post to celebrate your team's fantastic efforts.
Not only will all team members receive their finisher’s goody bag (including all sorts of treats, your finisher’s t-shirt and your race medal), but the winning teams will also be recognised and presented with their own award for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Both the fastest female and fastest male winner will also receive an award.
Teams will have the opportunity to feature in profile-raising news stories about the challenge via the many media partners and social channels.
All Corporate Challenge entrants will have a finisher T-Shirt included in the entry fee.
