In line with England Athletics guidelines, Bone conduction sports headphones are the only headphones that are approved for use in all races. Please refrain from using other forms of headphones/earphones for the safety of all runners on our multi-terrain route

In line with many races, we are also trying to reduce plastic waste so please bring your own water for the finish...or money for a pint from the Sports Club bar!
-
We are trying to make the Gnosall 10K an eco-friendly race and therefore have introduced biodegradable cups at water stations. Please recycle your cups in the bins provided at the finish line
