9 Locks 10k Summer Challenge
The 9 Locks Challenge is a point-to-point 10 km race along the Stourbridge Canal on Sunday, 30th May, 2027. The route starts at the Bonded Warehouse (DY8 4LU) and finishes at the Waterfront in Brierley Hill (DY5 1XD). The course follows canal towpaths with some trail-like sections and features a continual incline that culminates in the climb of the nine Delph Locks near the end.
The event is organised by StuWEB Race Timing in partnership with OP Events. Runners have seeded start times and chip timing that includes a King of the Hill element. The event offers goody bags, a medal, prizes, free parking, coach transfer, and a festival-style atmosphere with on-course support. Entry for the running category is priced at £30.00 plus a £1.50 fee and the running entry closes 27th May 2027 at 12:00. There is also a social marshal entry option with no fee that closes 30th May 2027 at 09:30. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
