Trafford 10K
Run North West are delighted to bring you the ever-popular Trafford 10K for a one-time-only October edition! One of the UK’s most popular and quickest 10K’s for club runners, with elites travelling from all over Europe to run this super-fast course.
The one lap course is perfect for fast times ran on scenic country roads starting and finishing in Partington near to Manchester. The route heads towards Dunham Massey before returning back towards Partington.
Our March 2025 10K was cancelled due to a sinkhole on the course, however the bridge has recently been repaired and we are delight to host an exclusive October edition of this sell-out race. Be quick to secure your spot as this race sells out in record time!
