The Plymouth 10k is suitable for runners of all abilities.  It starts in the city centre before heading towards Marsh Mills along the embankment and Blagdon’s Meadow and back again taking advantage of the closed roads and great scenery. 

Plymouth 10k Race Route

The Plymouth 10k course begins on Princess Street in the city centre. There, runners will then head up Princess Way, towards Derry’s Cross and then down Royal Parade towards St Andrews Cross Roundabout and Exeter Street. Then comes the long stretch on Embankment Road, before runners will come back on themselves just after the road merges with Old Laira Road. This is the 5km point, where there will be a drinks station. The competitors will then follow the exact same route on the way back, going back down Embankment Road and towards the city centre, eventually reaching the finish line on Princess Street.
