Looking for an aesthetically pleasing 10K race? The Oswestry 10K has been described as one of the most beautiful 10K races on the circuit and with a route that takes runners through and around the pretty Shropshire town it is easy to see why.

The 2024 race will take place on 13 October, so runners can also look forward to clement autumn conditions as well. Speaking about their event, organisers say: "The 10K brings together an active community of people taking part in sporting events for reasons ranging from fitness, competition, charity, health, fun or to simply finish.

"Our participants vary from nervous first-timers of all ages through to competitive runners and the course has a town and country feel that is well supported by the community. We sold out in 2023 so don't miss out this year!"

Perfect for all 10K runners as well as those seeking a fast time. An undulating and challenging fast one lap race starting and finishing in the town centre with fully closed roads. The route is mainly on town roads with a nice scenic section towards the end.

The race start and finish will be full of music and flags and the race village is just a short walk from the local park, car parks, retail shops, cafes and eateries. Once you have completed the run, you will receive your own finishers medal and water.

Organisers continue: "We are keen to ensure that everyone regardless of their ability enjoys the day. Our generous race cut off time will allow everyone to get back into Church Street, before we open the public roads. So don't be put off if it is your first attempt at the distance."
