A beautiful two lap course around Stanley Park. A great event for all abilities and ages. The event uses the same beautiful course in the park as the Stanley Park 10k earlier in the year. Starting and finishing within the park the route follows the well maintained pathways around the park. It is a two lap course, so is great for spectators too. It is also very flat and accurately measured.
The EVENT HQ is within the park itself just off West Park Drive, Blackpool FY3 9HQ. There is a car park here but can fill up quickly. There are additional car parks within the park. At Event HQ you will find the registration desks where you can collect your race numbers, an enquiry desk if you have any questions, toilets, and baggage storage.
