Uttoxeter Festival of Running 2027

Please choose your event:

Uttoxeter Road Runners are pleased to be able to welcome you to their 2027 Festival of Running on Sunday 9th May

There will be 3 races again this year, an off-road junior 2k and an on-road 10k and half marathon. Full event day programme to follow.

Everyone completing the junior race, 10k and half-marathon will receive a medal to mark the occasion. In addition to that we will have a bespoke medal for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd male and female back in each race.

T shirts for 10K and Half Marathon runners are avilable separately if desired.

The courses

It’s fair to say that both races (the half-marathon especially) have a hill or two…. 

Other than the small section out of (and back into) the racecourse, all the running for the adult races is on roads; while most of the roads are minor, rural roads, both courses have ‘A’ and ‘B’ roads as part of their core routes – while there will be marshals at key points to assist you and help with traffic management, you will need to manage your safety accordingly. For this reason we will again be insisting on no headphones or bone conducting devices being permitted while running in any of the races. If any runners are spotted with headphones, including bone conducting headphones, they may be disqualified. 

Water Stations 

There will be a water station on the finish line for both races: 1 for the 10k, situated roughly at the half way point 4 for the half marathon situated at roughly the 5, 7, 10 and 12 mile marks
