Welshpool 10K
The Welshpool 10k is an annual road running event held in the town of Welshpool, UK. Organized by Adrenaline Sporting Events, the race starts and finishes in the town centre at Broad Street. The route is a single-lap course that transitions from the town through local lanes and the surrounding countryside.
The course is widely noted for its undulating profile, featuring several significant hill sections. Approximately the first part of the race contains the majority of the climbing, while the final 2 km segment offers a descent through the grounds of Powis Castle leading back into the town. Participants run on traffic-free roads with established closures and clear marshalling throughout the route.
The event includes several features for participants:
- 10 km distance
- Bespoke finisher's medal
- On-course water stations using cups
- Course marshals and cycle marshals
The race location is approximately 52.66°N, -3.15°W. Previous editions have featured local support from spectators within the town and along the scenic sections near the castle estate. Facilities traditionally include a goody bag for finishers and local parking options, though participants are advised to arrive early to manage parking requirements.
