Here’s a date for your 2023 race diary: Sunday 7 May and the Crowle 10K which welcomes adults and children to this popular charity event. Three runs, a scenic route and entertainment are always vote winners.

The Crowle 10K bounced back in 2022 after a two year absence due to Covid and a good day was had by all. An event with something to suit young and not-so-young, it attracts a good turnout who always make the most of the occasion and there's a good chance of bagging a PB into the bargain.

If you're looking for some competitive action then try the 10K which starts at 11am from the Parish Hall. You'll complete a lap around the field then exit onto closed roads and continue up through Crowle before turning onto Old Turnpike Road. Keep going towards Sale Green where there's a water station then around you go and back down Old Turnpike Road and Crowle where you can expect plenty of support from local residents. Save enough for a last gasp dash across the finish at the Parish Hall.

There are prizes for the fastest runners in various categories and all finishers will receive a medal.

Kids will have their moment in the spotlight with a Quarter Mile Fun Run (for the under 9’s) and a 1 Mile Fun Run (for the under 16’s). The Quarter Mile begins at 10.10am followed by the 1 Mile at 10.25am. Parents can cheer their sons and daughters ahead of their race at 11am. 

Once the racing is done, you can relax over tea or coffee and a there's a BBQ with homemade cakes.

This event fundraises for charities with the aim of boosting sports and social facilities for the local community.
