The event is a 10k one-lap race on mainly town roads. The route is undulating with a scenic section towards the end. The course follows Church Street, Morda Road, Nant Lane, Trefonen Road, Oswestry Road, Upper Brook Street and returns to Church Street. Roads are fully closed for the event for runner safety.
Logistics, safety and prizes
A race village and help desk are located near the start and finish, within walking distance of town car parks, shops, cafés and a local park.

The event has a 90 minute race cut-off; roads reopen in line with this pace and slower runners may be asked to withdraw for safety.
