Event Overview
The Tilston 10k is a rural running event held on quiet country roads. Established in 2012, the race follows a route through local lanes that are subject to a full road closure for the duration of the event. The course is fully signed and marshalled to assist participants throughout the distance.
The event is organized to support the Tilston Playing Field Association, with all proceeds contributing to the maintenance of the local playing field, play equipment, and pump track. The registration area and finish line are located at the playing field, where participants have access to toilet facilities and childrens' play equipment.

Participation Details
The event uses chip timing for the 10 km distance and has no designated cut-off times. The field is limited to 300 runners. First aid provision is available on-site.
