Mersey Tunnel 10K
The Mersey Tunnel 10K is a point-to-point road race held on 11.04.2027 that takes runners from Liverpool to New Brighton. The course runs largely through the Wallasey Tunnel under the River Mersey, with just over 3 km inside the tunnel before runners exit on the Wirral side and continue along Dock Road and the promenade to the finish on Ian Fraser Walk.
Key course details include markers for 1K at the tunnel entrance and for 2K and 3K inside the tunnel. After leaving the tunnel via the emergency exit, the route follows Oakdale Road with a slight downhill near 4K. The 5K point and a water station are located at the car park behind the Mersey Ferry terminal on Birkenhead Road, and a second drinks station is positioned near 7K at the bottom of Manor Road. The course is measured as an accurate 10 km route and GPS devices are expected to record distance reliably.
Event services include electronic chip timing, a goody bag and a finisher's medal. Entrants must be aged 15 or over on race day. Race numbers for UK postal addresses are sent 7 to 10 days before the event; overseas participants must collect numbers from the race office on race day. Baggage is collected at the start and transported to the finish. Medical stations and roaming first aiders are positioned along the course. Pacers and race photographers are present. Toilets are provided and discarded clothing at the start is collected for donation unless placed in the baggage store. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
