This 10K run, organized by Trinity Hospice and sponsored by Beaverbrooks, has been a staple of Blackpool&#8217;s event calendar since it first began in 1983, thanks to the involvement of Andrew Brown MBE, Beaverbrooks\u2019 former chairman. The run draws participants from all over the UK, offering a mix of fitness, charity, and community spirit, all set against the backdrop of Blackpool\u2019s famous promenade.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many charity runs, the Beaverbrooks Blackpool 10K Fun Run allows participants to choose which charity they want to support, making it a flexible and inclusive way to give back. While the entry fee covers the event&#8217;s costs, many participants also make additional donations to Trinity Hospice, the main organizer. The event has a longstanding reputation for welcoming both experienced runners and beginners, as well as friends and families who participate together. It also has last-minute registration options, so even those who decide to join on the day are welcome, as long as they arrive early to sign up.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond being a race, the Fun Run is known for its festive atmosphere, with spectators lining the course, cheering on runners, and enjoying the sense of community that fills the day. Blackpool\u2019s local hotels cater to the influx of visitors, making it easy for out-of-town participants to join in. It has become not only a fundraiser but a celebration of endurance, charity, and camaraderie that resonates with locals and visitors alike.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2324\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.wearedeeperblue.co.uk\/history-clone\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/10K-Fun-Run-Crop-1024x647.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"430\" \/>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Top Finishers - Beaverbrooks Blackpool Fun Run 10k (2024)\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nxSeyZUYhMY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beaverbrooks Blackpool 10K Fun Run is a celebrated annual event that takes place along Blackpool&#8217;s stunning seafront every May.
