9 Locks 10km Summer Challenge
The 9 Locks 10km Summer Challenge is a point-to-point race held along the historic Stourbridge Canal. The route begins at the Bonded Warehouse in Stourbridge (DY8 4LU) and concludes at the Waterfront in Brierley Hill (DY5 1XD). The course is characterized by a continual incline moving from the start to the finish line.
Participants run on a canal-side path that includes sections of trail. The event is named after the nine Delph Locks, which runners must ascend toward the end of the course. The race utilizes chip timing and includes a specific timing segment for the King of the Hill. A seeded start system is used to manage the flow of participants.
Available distances:
- 10 km
The event provides free parking and a coach transfer service for participants. Each runner receives a goody bag and a medal upon completion, and prizes are awarded for specific categories. The race is organized by OP Events in partnership with StuWEB Race Timing. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
