Drayton Manor 5K & 10K April is organised by RunThrough at Drayton Manor Theme Park near Tamworth in Staffordshire. The event brings runners into the popular family attraction for two distances, with the unusual opportunity to race past rollercoasters, themed rides and the park's zoo before the resort opens to regular visitors.
Both distances follow a flat, traffic free course on tarmac surfaces within the theme park. The 5K completes one lap, while the 10K follows the circuit twice, passing attractions including Accelerator, Stormforce 10 and Thomas Land. With approximately 37 metres of elevation gain across the 10K, the route offers a relatively level running challenge in a distinctive setting.
Both races are chip timed, with kilometre markers and marshals guiding runners around the course. Finishers receive a themed medal, refreshments and free official photography. Race entry also includes access to the theme park, allowing participants to enjoy the attractions after completing their run.
