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.
