    Stockport 10

    Over the years we have seen the race hosted at two different venues before it settled in Woodbank park at the home of Stockport Harriers.

    The race route has also seen some changes with the original routes being run in and around the Edgeley part of the town. Now the route takes in Offerton and Bredbury and includes a bit of everything. Starting on a race track, running through a park, heading out on the road and a section on a bridleway through the countryside.

    The race committee has always tried to keep that ‘local race feel’ to it, whilst it’s increased in popularity over the years and become a ‘must do event’ on most runners’ race calendars’.

    What makes it so popular and why do people keep coming back year after year? Some put it down to a well organised race along with vocal/encouraging marshals. Others talk about the variety of the terrain and the challenge of the hills. But the one thing that nearly everyone talks about is the ‘tongue in cheek’ approach that’s taken to its organisation.

    We can expect to see around 1,500 runners taking part. Will you be one of them?

    Testimonials from runners!

    1st time at this event and loved it. Hats off to the organisers for all their hard work before and during the race. Starting to the Benny Hill music was hilarious and couldn’t help but make you smile. Great mixed route of on and off road with some delightful hills thrown in. Loved the stadium finish with every runner getting a mention. Nice finishers t-shirt…!! Will definitely be back for this one next year, thank you Stockport

    “Killer hills? Check. Trackside commentary from John Motson soundalike “Tom Potson”? Check. A surreal goody bag? Check. Unbelievably horrible weather? Check. Why, it must be the Stockport 10! Still one of the very best organised and best value races there is. Not the kindest course, and the weather was brutal as ever, but the atmosphere is second to none. You will not find a better race for the money. See you all next year.”

    “You can’t slate a race when it starts to the Benny Hill music, has legendary Tom Potson giving you his hilarious welcome and then throws in some killer hills to keep you on your toes. Brilliant once more despite the weather!”

    “I’ve been thinking about doing this for several years and finally took the plunge this year. The race was excellent, very well organised and really friendly with a challenging and interesting course. The marshalls were fantastic and actively encouraged you using your name which was cleverly printed on your race bib. Really enjoyed it :)”

    This event has been run for over thirty years, making it probably one of the oldest running events in the area.

    The event also switched to a ‘park event’ around the same time as the change in distance. Originally this was run on local roads but it’s now on a traffic-free course.

    On a warm summer evening its testing run but the setting and atmosphere makes it a great event to run in.
