Calling all football fans to this epic 10k race that starts and ends inside Ewood Park, home of Blackburn Rovers FC.
Runners will head out of the stadium and head towards Blackburn town centre. From there, they will complete the loop before entering the final stretch inside the stadium.
This course is run on closed roads and is generally considered fast and flat, so is a perfect venue to capture that personal best.
