Race route

Birchwood 10k race route

Cert. 2002/045 The course is fast and relatively flat, the only hills being three motorway bridges in the second half of the race. If you are familiar with the race, the route is the same as recent years, with the finish in Birchwood Boulevard.

It begins close to Birchwood Railway Station and skirts the edge of Oakwood and Gorse Covert, before heading for Risley along Daten Avenue. It then goes along the rural lanes of Croft before returning to Birchwood via Locking Stumps Lane. Finally, you go back over the M6, continuing on footpaths for about a kilometre before returning to road to run to the finish at the end of Birchwood Boulevard.
