Sign up for our Plymouth Harbour 10K today!

We’re excited to announce that our Plymouth Harbour 10K is coming back for Autumn 2025, and registrations are now open! The community-running event, centred around Plymouth’s famous bustling harbours, will be taking place on Sunday 28 September 2025. We are delighted to share that Cattewater Harbour, the statutory authority for the harbour of which the route follows, is the headline sponsor for our third 10K event in aid of better mental health.

Our iconic picturesque route around the harbour from Mount Batten to Commercial Wharf provides opportunities for local running enthusiasts to come together to improve their wellbeing and raise much-needed money and awareness for Devon Mind. The money generously raised from fundraising will go directly toward providing life-changing mental health services for those who need it most. At a time when so many are facing immense pressures – from the rising cost of living to the everyday challenges of modern life – the need for accessible, compassionate mental health services has never been greater. Your support will help us reach more people, faster, with the care and connection they deserve. We’re calling all runners to join us to help fly the flag for better mental health and wellbeing.

Speaking about the excitement of launching our next running event, Devon Mind Chief Executive, Olivia Craig, added:

“I’m very proud to launch our 2025 10K fundraising event. Our annual Plymouth Harbour Runs are a powerful opportunity for our community to come together, raise vital funds, and take big steps toward breaking the stigma surrounding mental health. We are incredibly grateful to our headline sponsor for their generous support and unwavering commitment to mental health. Their partnership is helping us reach more people, raise greater awareness, and make a lasting impact in the lives of those who need it most.”

Last week, some of our team met with headline sponsors, Cattewater Harbour, at the finish point to celebrate the upcoming launch of the 10K event. Captain Richard Allan, CEO and Harbour Master, shared:

“We're really pleased to be able to support the return of the Devon Mind 10K as headline sponsor. The route follows the Cattewater from Mount Batten right around to Commercial Wharf taking in all of the Cattewater Harbour. Runners will get to see for themselves, and hopefully get a better understanding of, the breadth and scope of the harbour from leisure to commercial vessels, from wildlife to historic points of interest, and the work we do to maintain and improve the Cattewater as a busy trading port alongside our local environment, communities and stakeholders.”

Run for better mental health across Devon!

About the event

The Plymouth Harbour 10K is a picturesque running experience that starts at Mount Batten, with a 10 km route around the harbour, along the South West Coast Path, finishing at Commercial Wharf. The community event is perfect for beginners looking to set themselves a new challenge or improve their fitness, and costs £25 to enter, which includes a medal at the end. Early bird tickets at just £20 are available during the launch for the first keen runners to sign up. Runners who raise a minimum of £50 from sponsorship will be entered into a prize draw, which will take place shortly after the event in October 2025. An exclusive Plymouth Harbour 10K t-shirt will also be available to purchase; more details to follow.

Richard added: "We'll be entering our own Cattewater Harbour team in the 10K and would encourage all our local business friends and supporters to sign up a team too — an excellent cause and some friendly port rivalry is always a good incentive!"
