Welshpool 10K
The Welshpool 10K brings together an active community of people taking part in sporting events for reasons ranging from fitness, competition, charity, health, fun or to simply finish. The participants vary from nervous first-timers of all ages through to competitive runners.
The course is an undulating one lap that starts and finishes in the town centre on fully closed roads. The route runs through Welshpool High Street and Berriew Road, includes Red Lane and the Powis Estate, and returns to the High Street. Race HQ is located at 42 Broad Street, Welshpool, Powys, SY21 7JQ. The race village is a short walk from local parks, car parks, shops and cafes.
Road closures are in place for runner safety and are managed by marshals and diversion routes. Spectators are asked to remain off the course until runners have passed and are advised that pavements along the route provide viewing space. A race cut off time of 90 minutes applies and participants who fall behind this pace may be asked to withdraw.
Finishers receive water and a commemorative medal. Prizes are awarded to the top three male and top three female finishers plus 14 age group winners. Donated proceeds support Parkinsons UK. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
Race Start / Finish
The Race Start / Finish will be full of music and flags. There will be a help desk at Race HQ for any last minute issues. The race village is just a short walk from the local park, car parks, retail shops, cafes and eatery’s.
Race Experience
We are keen to ensure that everyone regardless of their ability enjoys the day. Our generous race cut off time will allow everyone to get back into High Street, before we open the public roads. And at the finish line we will give out water and a unique medal.
