The Pulford 10k (Formerly the Cheshire Elite 10k) takes place on the legendary Pulford loop in Pulford Cheshire; known in running folklore as ‘The Magic Triangle’. This is one of the fastest routes in the UK and is the scene of Jake Smith’s legendary 2:11 marathon debut whilst acting as a pacemaker in the Cheshire Elite Marathon back in 2021.

Due to strict limitations on the road closure we can only accommodate runners that can manage a sub 50 10k.

The cash prizes are as follows £500 for 1st, £300 for 2nd and £200 for 3rd. Vouchers for a free Run Cheshire race for age group winners.

Entry fee is £24 for unaffiliated runners and £22 for affiliated runners. Minimum age is 15. UKA Licence (TBC). The course has been measured to World Athletics standards.
