Ipswich Twilight Road Race 10k

The Ipswich JAFFA Running Club – Ipswich Twilight 10k event is one the region’s biggest and best supported 10k races, attracting runners of all ages and abilities.

The Ipswich Town Foundation are a new charity partner for the races this year. By supporting this charity, every step the runners take will help to open doors for young people and vulnerable adults to access a variety of development programmes – boosting confidence, wellbeing and community spirit.

For 2026, the event will once again start and finish among the appropriately sporty surroundings of Portman Road, home to Ipswich Town Football Club. The race follows a winding route from the stadium through Ipswich’s main shopping area and around its historic centre, passing landmarks such as the Corn Exchange and Town Hall on the way.  A much-anticipated summer event, the Ipswich Twilight 10k is always warmly supported by spectators, who turn out in their hundreds to cheer on competitors as they weave their way through the town.

There are two other supporting events on the racing schedule – the Suffolk Schools mass participation Daily Mile and the Family Wave. These shorter races are designed to appeal to younger runners and to family groups.

Why not come down and support the runners – or register yourself!
