Uttoxeter Festival of Running 2027
Uttoxeter Road Runners organise the Uttoxeter Festival of Running at Uttoxeter Racecourse, Wood Ln, Uttoxeter ST14 8BD on 9 May 2027. Entries open 1 December 2026.
There are three races: an off-road junior 2k and on-road 10k and half marathon. The junior event is split into age categories for runners aged 4-11 and 12-15 on race day. Everyone completing the junior race, the 10k and the half marathon will receive a medal; separate bespoke medals will be awarded to the first, second and third male and female finishers in each race. T shirts are available separately for 10k and half marathon entrants.
Most of the adult routes run on roads, with a short section out of and back into the racecourse. The courses include minor rural roads and sections of A and B roads. Marshals will be positioned at key points for assistance and traffic management, but runners are expected to manage their own safety. Headphones and bone conducting devices are not permitted during any race and may lead to disqualification if used.
Water will be available at the finish for both adult races. Additional on-course stations include one roughly at the halfway point of the 10k and four for the half marathon at about 5, 7, 10 and 12 miles. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
