Run Alton Towers 5K and 10K are organised by RunThrough and take place entirely within Alton Towers Resort in Staffordshire.
Both races use smooth, traffic free paths around the theme park, creating an unusual opportunity to run through one of the UK's best known visitor attractions. The courses are fully marked with distance flags and signs, with marshals positioned around the routes to guide runners.
The 10K starts first, followed by the 5K, while a Junior Race takes place later in the morning. Race entry includes access to Alton Towers Resort, allowing runners to spend the rest of the day enjoying the theme park after finishing.
The races are chip timed and include free race photography, post race goodies and a themed finisher medal. The combination of traffic free running, a distinctive theme park course and admission to the attractions makes Run Alton Towers particularly unusual among UK running events.
