Course
The race starts within the beautiful grounds of Barclays Radbroke campus, then heads out onto the country lanes of Over Peover, Snelson and Peover Heath, before returning to Radbroke. The race will run on beautiful country lanes, all fully closed to traffic, we believe this will prove to be one of the fastest 10K races in the North West, with only 23 metres of elevation across the entire course. The course overall is super flat with a modest incline at around 2K but then the course drifts down hill from 6K-8K. The rest is pancake flat.
*Due to the complexity of the course and our commitment to the local village/wedding venues we need to re-open the road after 1hr 30mins. Beyond this time we will guide you to the finish.

We will close entries as soon as we reach our limit or on Midnight the night before the race.

Official Race Charity
Our official race charity partner is DKMS, a charity dedicated to fight against blood cancer and blood disorders:
"Every 20 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. For many, the best or only possible treatment option is a blood stem cell transplant.
DKMS provides patients with a second chance at life, working closely with their families from diagnosis to transplant and beyond. The donor journey begins with a swab of the cheek that takes less than two minutes and can be the action that leads to a lifesaving transplant."
