Snake Lane 2026 Sells Out in Four Hours as Entries Surge

The popular Snake Lane 10 Mile road race has sold out in just four hours after entries opened for the 2026 edition, organisers confirmed today. The rapid sell-out underscores the event’s enduring appeal to runners across the region and beyond.

Event details and timing

• Date: Sunday 22 February 2026.
• Location: Market Place, Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire.
• Field size: Organisers had a limited number of places and all of those places were taken within four hours of the entry window opening.

Technology and race services

The event’s race entry, timing and results infrastructure is provided by Sports Timing Solutions, who will deliver precision chip timing, live results, free finisher certificates, and personalised finish-line video for competitors on race day. Organisers said the integrated race system helped manage the high entry volume and will support a smooth experience on race day.

Why it sold out so quickly

• The fast, mostly flat 10-mile course at the foot of the Yorkshire Wolds makes the race an attractive spring target and a reliable training test for marathon and long-distance runners.
• Strong local support and the race’s established reputation have kept demand high in recent years.

What runners should know next

Runners who missed out are advised to follow the event and organising club channels for any transfers. Organisers typically publish final logistical details, number collection instructions, and route information in the weeks before the race.

Final note

The Snake Lane 10 remains one of the region’s most sought-after early-season races, and this year’s four-hour sell-out reinforces its standing on the UK road-racing calendar.
