A fast and flat course around the coastal front of Blackpool... A great race for a PB and an ideal warm up race for the Blackpool Marathon or Virgin London Marathon.

The event is now celebrating its 30th year, and grows in popularity every year. The event attracts almost 1500 competitors of all ages and experience and is a great spectator course for the family as it is a two lap course.

ALL FINISHERS will receive an amazing bespoke medal and technical tee shirt, chip timing, full medical support, water stations and race photos.

The race is often described as a flat and fast coastal marathon. The course takes runners along the Blackpool seafront past the many sights, including Golden Mile, St Annes and Lytham. It is very popular with runners looking to achieve a PB.

The race starts in Blackpool. From there runners head south to Lytham st Annes where they turn and run back towards Cleveleys before turning south again. The half marathon finish line is back in Blackpool near the start, while marathon runners continue on to repeat the route.

A beautiful two lap course around Stanley Park. A fun event for all abilities and ages. Due to increased demand and popularity, the Stanley Park 10k is staged over 2 days. You choose which one, or why not both? The event uses the same beautiful course in the park as the Autumn Breaker 10k later in the year. Starting and finishing on the running track the route follows the well-maintained pathways around the park. It is a two lap course, so is great for spectators who wish to stay at the track.

It is also very flat and accurately measured.

The Blackpool Festival of Running returns to be even bigger and better...

As always the event is run on Blackpool's Promenade's passing all the great landmarks and tourist spots.

The festival is ideal for all the family and Blackpool is always a great weekend away!

The marathon is a two lap course and is very flat for the PB chaser's out there. Race facilities include water stations approximately every 3 miles, toilets located at regular intervals, chip timed results, full race commentary, race photography and full medical support.

Hell of a Hill Marathon is arguably the toughest 26.2 miles in the UK, and the toughest 5 consecutive marathons in 5 days in the World - only the toughest dare to challenge the Hill for 5 consecutive days! The mighty Rivington Pike stands 1,191ft tall on the West Pennine Moors, and runners have to pass over the summit a massive 40 times to complete the challenge of a lifetime. A total of 30,000ft of elevation gain (Mount Everest!) and 131 miles of tough stone and mud trail running in the cold Winter months!.

A gruelling yet fun event for all abilities and ages. Run on mainly hard packed sand from the South Pier in Blackpool to St Anne's Pier and back again. It's a great laugh and we guarantee you will finish with a smile on your face.

Trail shoes are recommended, however standard running shoes can also be used. The route has been measured using a Garmin. Due to the terrain, an official measurement cannot be performed, but it is spot on.

There may be entries available on the day (don't risk it though), and these will be charged 5 extra. Postal entries will not be accepted.
