Part of the Merseyside Grand Prix, the Penny Lane Striders 10k includes: chip timing, pacers for 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 minutes, water stations on the course and at the finish and a specially designed technical T-shirt. Our club have organised this race for over 10 years, and as it has increased in popularity we have increased the number of entrants to 490 for the 2017 race.
The fast course takes you along the famous River Mersey Promenade and through Otterspool Park before returning to race HQ at Riversdale Police Club. At the finish there is a water station, the T-shirt collection area and a massage facility where you can receive a massage from Rehablab UK in return for a £3 donation to our chosen charity. 2017 RACE RESULTS |

CourseThe course takes in the scenic River Mersey waterfront along Otterspool Promenade, and Otterspool Park. It is accurately measured and certified, and kilometre markers will be displayed. The course is mostly flat and run on sealed surfaces, with the exception the Start and Finish areas which are on grass. As there are a number of kerbs and narrow gaps to negotiate, unfortunately the race is not deemed to be suitable for wheelchair athletes. In a number of locations the course doubles back on itself, so make sure to keep left in order to avoid those running in the opposite direction! Water stations can be found at approximately half way and at the finish |
