It's a Piece of Cake 10K
Manchester Frontrunners hosts a chip timed 10 km road race in Boggart Hole Clough, North Manchester. The course runs on paved footpaths and is three laps long; it includes a short but steep section known as Angel Hill. Volunteers manage the course and offer on-course support. Entries include accurate chip timing and there are cash prizes for the first three finishers in each gender category, plus prizes for age-specific categories (V40, V50, V60 by gender). There are also prizes for cakes, including categories such as Best-Looking, Fastest-Selling and Campest.
After the race a charity cake sale raises funds for George House Trust, which supports people living with HIV. Participants and clubs are encouraged to contribute home-baked cakes, though baking or buying is not obligatory. The event accepts cards at the sale but prefers cash.
The race is organized under the rules of UK Athletics and carries a UKA licence number listed as TBC. An open category (selectable as other/not disclosed when entering) is available and prizes will be awarded within that category. Race numbers must be collected in person before the event and no entries are available on the day. Facilities at the event include toilets, a water station, bag drop, parking (park car park off Charlestown Road) and first aid. The park is accessible by bus via Grange Park Road (routes 118 and 149). Optional event T-shirts are available for a fee if chosen by the entry deadline.
