The fabulously fast Lion Quays Ellesmere 10km race and Lakeside Coaches 2k fun run is back for the 11th year in 2023 and the date is confirmed as Sunday 27th August 2023.
This is as fast and as popular as ever! This race genuinely does have PB potential for runners prepared to take it on with the course record being 29 mins 12 seconds which made Ellesmere 10k the 6th fastest 10k in the UK in 2012.
The race is a mix of road and well surfaced flat trail, very gentle undulations with just one sharp turn and a hump-back canal bridge to negotiate. Plus some stunning scenery to zoom your way through.
Winners' prizes of £200, £150 and £100 for 1st, 2nd and 3rd male & female runners.£300 bonus if you can beat the course record.
Prizes for age category winners.
