CAR PARKING – we request a DONATION of £2 per car ALL of which will be donated to local good causes. Midlands Air Ambulance will receive at least 50% of all donations raised at the park & ride.
PARK & RIDE – parking and pick-up/drop-off is available at (and by kind permission of) Barbers Auctions LLP, Adderley Road, Market Drayton TF9 3SW which is sited directly off the roundabout junction of A53 / A529 (at The Gingerbread Man), and from where our stewards will direct you. Grazers cafe will be open and toilets will be available at the P&R.
The P&R is not affected by road closures during the race and our stewards will remain on site throughout the event.
ALTERNATIVE PARKING – limited car parking at Grove School is accessed off Great Hales Street and NOT the main gate. Please be mindful that this is likely to fill up early in the morning.
There are also a few public car parks available in town, all of which are signposted and within a reasonable walking distance of Grove School.
We encourage runners and supporters to arrive in plenty of time to prevent unnecessary congestion in the town where there will be planned road closures and increased traffic due to MD10k.
PLEASE NOTE: Lidl, Asda, Homebase and Morrisons are not public car parks but private parking for their customers only. They are monitored by the stores who can issue parking fines if misused.

Great event well organised, well supported and of course the weather was spot on. My advice would be to get hill training into your routine to cope with the finish.
