Apedale Valley, Loomer Road, Chesterton, Staffs.

Organised by Newcastle (Staffs) AC, this year’s race is the 20th in the series.  Our thanks go to our hosts the Staffordshire County Council Ranger Service at the Apedale Community Country Park. A medal will be given to finishers (subject to availability) as well as normal position/age group prizes. 1st 3 Men and Women, 1st Male Vet over 40/50/60/70, 1st Female Vet over 40/50/60/70.

The 5 Miles (ish) course is new since 2021. It is an off-road, multi-terrain route that undulates through Apedale and Lymedale. The surfaces include tarmac, limestone, grass and a wooden boardwalk. Certain areas are expected to be wet and muddy and care must be taken, especially if there is a frost. Appropriate footwear should be worn for the prevailing conditions on the day. The race is open to runners aged 15 and over but is, regrettably, unsuitable for wheelchairs or cyclists. Please note that St John Ambulance will be in attendance on the day at the Start/Finish Area and there will be drinks available at the finish. Parking is ample, toilets, no showers. The start and finish is the same as previous years adjacent to the Heritage Centre. Entry limit 200
