I did this with 5 friends. We walked the course which was ideal as it was flat so no hazards! My only criticism would be there weren’t enough live bands along the route. The Oompah Loompas were great and a welcome sight on the home straight. Fab event, would definitely recommend and do it again. … read more

Known as Blackpool's most entertaining fun run, the Blackpool Music Run is the perfect opportunity to get outside and experience the latest upcoming talent from all over the UK.
The course will be a closed-road loop, with performance stages lining the promenade, keeping you bouncing and bopping all the way through the finish line.
I did this with 5 friends. We walked the course which was ideal as it was flat so no hazards! My only criticism would be there weren’t enough live bands along the route. The Oompah Loompas were great and a welcome sight on the home straight. Fab event, would definitely recommend and do it again.
Thoroughly enjoyed participating, would definitely attend again, lots of friendly fun to be had by all
My first race ( well walk) was absolutely fantastic from start to finish well organised lots of officials around if you need them can’t wait for next year
My first eve run (57), the whole atmosphere was like a huge family carnival. fantastic highlight was the live music and performances of all genres and from many differing ages. I cannot Waite for next years event. A huge Thank You to the organisers and musicians/artists who contributed to this fabulous event.
Did the first one in 2019...loved it...knew this one would be more popular...even with Covid...just needs more bands or music... thought that more of the hotels and bars along the route could of put music on...but a great run event...
Really enjoyed the atmosphere after over a year of lock down. It was good to be with other runners and to be able to participate in a proper event as virtual ones can be lonely.Luke and team did a sterling job.
This where my first event. It where toasty but still loved it, i would probably say maybe another eater station where needed with how hot it where.
Great day had thank you, very hot day but good atmosphere, easy course to run, enjoyed it very much!!!!
I had a great time at the music runJust disappointed that I had been told I would collect my t-shirt at the end of the race only to be told it should have been picked up with my race pack..
Great running with lots of fun and beautiful memories. And the weather was amazing to enjoy the day even more x
First time I attended this event. My 2nd 5km ever. Nice flat course but if wind is blowing as it does sometimes its hard work but great fun. Would recommend it for a 1st attempt at a 5km. The music helps you along. And great camaraderie within all the runners helping each other along. Fully enjoyed the experience. Will book again.
A fantastic day out for both beginners and seasoned runners. A very well organised and friendly event. A simple but challenging enough course between the the three piers along the the famous Blackpool promenade, incorporating great sea views and allowing for a breeze which was very welcome on this particular very hot day. Also a very welcome addition to my medal collection. A simply stunning medal! Many thanks to all the performers and volunteers on the day. Overall a very professionally run event. I will be back in the future.
As it was so hot there should of been more water available. But loved our day and will 100% do it again
The party atmosphere of the event was great both before and afterwards. The route was flat making it near perfect for a PB but the heat was too much on this day. I must of missed the water stop, don't think I was the only one so I think it needs to be made more clear next year. While not a serious race its a shame the results were messed up by 10k runners deciding to drop to 5k on the run, but at least chip timing was provided. Great medal and T shirt if purchased
Absolutely great. The organisation was good though you could have organised some cooler weather. A bit on the hot side for running.
Loved it, was a good day out, entertainment was really good. Set up was amazing. Plenty of help getting to were I needed to be.
This was my 1st 10k, run with all the family. It was very hot but great fun, well organised. We did expect more bands though
Brilliant atmosphere for someone doing their first ever 5k, could have just done with some music between north and south pier to help move along a bit better but overall a great experience.
I have run with these organisers a few times and not had any reason to not carry on running events with them looking forward to the next one
On the hottest day of the year there should of been more than 1 water station - one down at fair end would of been a godsend i had to run in a shop to buy one
Great run hard work in the scorching heat. Organised really well only point would be an extra water stop was needed due to the heat.
Very hot day. Two laps of a flat traffic free course along the prom. Good music, thoroughly enjoyed it.
First one and won’t be the last. Good day out for all. Crowds cheered us runners on which was nice
Excellent can’t wait to do it again. very well organised, great atmosphere, amazing medal great to see all ages and abilities
Had an amazing time, everyone was great, was good fun. Everyone encouraged everyone of all abilities. Cant wait for next year

Did the race in 2019
Definitely needed more toilets. Clearer race instructions to tell everyone to run down the left side of the road. But was a great race, amazing people at the festival and marshal; crowd support was ok, was some jeering as well (know this isn’t the organisers fault)
Thought it was very well organised but we didn't really like the route, realise you are limited on where you can go with road closures etc but it was a bit boring route. I also didn't like that people were crossing the road Infront of you all the time had a few near misses. Overall a good day but think I'd rather do the illuminations one again than this one
Next time you need to tell the people about the rewards the desk people in the tower didn’t no anything about it and same on the trams i was very disappointed i won’t be recommending to any of our runners from my club the Sowerby Bridge snails we have 300 members thanks David Gee
Absolutely fantastic experience loved every step a took thanks very well put together the oompa loompas was amazing thanks again 1hr33 not bad for my 2nd try
