By the Numbers
Since 2019, the Hopton 10k has seen 817 unique runners cross the finish line across 1,101 total finishes. While most runners tackle our challenging course once, we’ve built a loyal community of returning athletes-184 runners have come back for at least a second helping of Hopton’s infamous hills.
Mark Holden holds the distinction of being our only three-time winner, claiming victory in 2019, 2021, and 2022 before passing the torch to new champions. On the women’s side, Bridget Coomber has dominated with three consecutive wins from 2022–2024.
Our most dedicated runner? Gmark Richardson is the only person to have completed all six editions of the race-a true Hopton 10k legend. Nine other runners have finished five times, including Mark Holden, David Nevill, Tim Rowling, John Whittington, Chris Riley, Martin Pelan, Emma Brunning, James Meehan, and Claire Hodges.
Over the last three years alone, 417 different runners have taken on the course, with 78 of them returning for multiple editions-that’s nearly 1 in 5 runners who keep coming back for more. Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just love the atmosphere, there’s something about Hopton that keeps people lacing up year after year.
