11.00am Start • Stanley Park • Blackpool • FY3 9HQ
A beautiful two lap course around Stanley Park. A fun event for all abilities and ages. The event uses the same beautiful course in the park as the Autumn Breaker 10k later in the year. Starting and finishing on the running track, the route follows the well maintained pathways around the park. It is a two lap course, so is great for spectators who wish to stay at the track. It is also very flat and accurately measured.
The EVENT HQ is at the Running Track behind Blackpool Sports Centre on 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. There is also changing and showering facilities within the Sports Centre which you can use.
