from the famous Mirrorball on Blackpool's South Promenade
Get ready for one of our most unique running experiences — the Blackpool Surf 10K! Starting and finishing beside the iconic Mirror Ball on Blackpool’s South Promenade, this exhilarating coastal run blends the best of both worlds: firm, golden sand and the sea breeze of the Irish Sea.
From the moment you set off, the sound of crashing waves and the endless horizon ahead make every stride feel like freedom. The route follows the wide sands of Blackpool Beach, with panoramic views stretching toward the North Pier and beyond. It’s pure coastal energy,
raw, refreshing, and unforgettable.
