Race The Bypass At Speed
Fast closed road 10K returns to Alderley Edge this May...
Runners looking for a fast spring 10K will find plenty to enjoy as the Alderley Edge 10K returns on Sunday 10 May 2026 in Cheshire.
Organised by Run North West, the race offers a rare opportunity to run on fully closed roads along the A34 bypass, creating a smooth and traffic free course that is ideal for chasing personal bests.
Starting from Alderley Park, the out and back route heads onto the bypass before turning near Wilmslow and returning to the finish, delivering a flat and fast layout through the Cheshire countryside.
What sets this event apart is its unique atmosphere, with live music and entertainment positioned along the course to keep runners motivated from start to finish.
With chip timing, pacers across a wide range of target times and strong organisation throughout, the event has become a popular choice for runners of all abilities, from those chasing a PB to those enjoying the experience of a closed road race.
Entries are expected to fill quickly, with no entries available on the day once capacity is reached, so early entry is strongly advised for those looking to secure a place on the start line.
Whether you are aiming for a fast time or simply want to enjoy a unique race setting, this is a standout 10K on the North West calendar. Enter via Nifty Entries here.
