10 Years On The Run
Mossley 10K celebrates its 10 year anniversary this July...
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Mossley 10K Run. The event is hosted by semi-professional football club, Mossley AFC and always attracts a good mix of club-class competitors, social runners, beginners and charity fundraisers.
Speaking about the ten year anniversary, organisers said: "From our first year in 2014, the race has steadily grown into a fantastic annual event, popular with experienced club competitors and fun runners equally."
This year's 10K will be staged on 21 July with the race action starting and finishing at Mossley AFC’s Seel Park ground, with ‘Grandstand Views’ for spectators.
The course is undulating and picturesque and takes runners from Upper Mossley, around Lower Mossley and Greenfield with beautiful views of the stunning, countryside around Mossley and Saddleworth.
Race organisers say: "No matter what your running experience may be, the Mossley 10K is the race for you! Ideal for both experienced club runners, social runners and those perhaps looking for a first ‘proper’ race to enter."
All finishers receive Mossley 10K's official medal, with a goodie bag distributed at the end. You might even discover Mossley AFC from a football perspective and come back to watch the Lilywhites next season at the picturesque ground.
There were over 300 runners in 2023 with David Barratt of Salford Harriers & AC bettering his own 2022 course record by one second with a time of 32:21. In the women's race it was Hayley Simpson of East Cheshire Harriers & Tameside AC who won in a time of 41:58.
