Event Overview
The Norman Cole Penistone 10k is a road running event held in the historic market town of Penistone, South Yorkshire. The race is organized by Penistone Footpath Runners & AC and features a single distance of 10 km. The event headquarters are located at the Penistone Church Football Club, a venue founded in 1906.
The route is an undulating course that begins with a short loop through a residential estate. From there, the path moves toward the Pennine foothills on quiet back roads. The final section of the race features a steep downhill leading onto the Trans Pennine Trail. This concluding stretch covers approximately two and a half kilometres on a fast, flat surface that returns runners to the football club.

Participants have access to several amenities at the race headquarters:
- Toilets, changing facilities, and showers.

Parking at the venue is limited, and organizers suggest car sharing where possible. Specifically noted is that the course is not suitable for wheelchairs. The entry limit is set at 308 participants. While registration typically opens in advance, entries may be available on the day for an additional fee if the event has not reached its capacity.
