The Derby 10 Mile race is targeting some of the best runners from around the country to create a competitive race. The aim is that many runners will push for that personal best time.

    • Top 10 finish at relevant regional XC championships (Northern, Midland, Southern) plus Scottish and Welsh Championships.
    • Athletes (Junior/U23/Senior) that have represented Great Britain at XC/road or track (at 3,000m and above) over the past 18 months.

We are also offering half price entries to anyone who has met the following criteria within the past 18 months of the race date:

If you meet any of the criteria above and wish to apply for a complimentary or half-price entry, please contact us with your:

    • Full name

    • Link to your Power of 10 profile
    • Club name (if applicable)

The same terms and conditions apply to complimentary entries. If you are unable to compete closer to the event for whatever reason, you must let us know. Under UK Athletics rules, any athlete found to be running with any race number other than that issued to them will be disqualified. Both they and those who pass on the number may be reported to UK Athletics and subject to disciplinary action by the governing body.

Each complimentary elite entry incurs a cost to us. Those who have an elite entry who fail to attend, without informing us in advance, on two occasions across our events will not be offered a complimentary elite entry in the future.
