Mossley 10K

This Race Is In A League Of Its Own

The Mossley 10K is set to return to the Lilywhites' stadium this July...

Head to Tameside on 16 July for a race that's in a league of its own! The Mossley 10K 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.

The challenging course takes in the undulating roads around Mossley, Greenfield and Saddleworth with a ‘Grandstand Finish’ at the club’s ground, Seel Park.

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.

The race made its return after a two year absence in 2022 when runners had some decidedly warm conditions to contend with, but despite this both the male and female course records were broken. David Barratt of Salford Harriers won the race in 32:22 with Martha Tibbot of Saddleworth Running Club winning the women's race in 37:45.

If you fancy seeing if you can challenge those records this year then find out more by visiting the Mossley 10K website.
