Mersey Tunnel 10K
The Mersey Tunnel 10K is a point to point road race held on Sunday 12 April 2026, starting on Blackstock Street on the Liverpool side of the River Mersey. The event is currently sold out. Entrants must be 15 years or over on race day.
The course drops onto the approach to the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel and passes through the tunnel for just over 3K before emerging on the Wirral side. Markers for 1K, 2K and 3K are positioned inside the tunnel. After exiting, the route continues along Oakdale Road with a slight downhill at 4K, reaches the 5K point and a water station near the Mersey Ferry terminal on Birkenhead Road, and has a second drinks station near 7K at the bottom of Manor Road. The finish is located on Ian Fraser Walk and the second half of the race follows the promenade overlooking the River Mersey and the Liverpool skyline.
Event services include chip timing, a finisher T shirt, finisher goody bag and an exclusive medal. Baggage buses transfer belongings from the start to the finish; the baggage facility opens before the event and has a strict drop off cut off. Race numbers are posted to UK addresses when requested in advance, with collection options at Canvas Athletic in Liverpool and at the race office on the morning of the event. Water stations provide 330ml screw top bottles. Medical personnel and first aid stations are located at regular intervals near drink stations, and pacers with flags run on course.
