Stockport Harriers & AC is organising a Virtual Stockport 10 ‘VSTK10’ in lieu of the STK10, which was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday 13 December 2020, with all net proceeds going to charity.
Runners will have the option to run their 10 mile race on a Designated Route (‘DR”) or on a route of their own choice.The runs can be completed any time between Saturday 5 December and Sunday 13 December and the results must be submitted by 8pm on the 13th. Competitors will not be required to upload files from their Garmin/Strava or other tracking services. At the time that your results are submitted, you will be asked to choose between the Designated Route or a Virtual Route of your choice. This gives runners the chance to run a route very similar to the official STK10 route or to run a virtual route anywhere in anywhere in the world.
The DR begins and ends in Woodbank Park, Stockport, and follows a route similar to the official STK10 route. By avoiding some of the neighbourhood sections of the STK10, it is easier to self-navigate. Those who complete the DR will be eligible for prizes for the 1st 3 M&F Finishers as well as Veterans M&F Prizes in 10-year Age Groups.
Here is a link to the route map and a written guide to the DR:
Entries are £10 for all runners, plus a £0.75 admin/technology charge.
All the net proceeds from the event will be shared equally between NHS Charities and the Stockport Foodbank
Entrants who complete the race, will be sent a VSTK10 medal approximately 4 weeks after the race by post.
