Whether it’s your first time trying a 10k or you’re an experienced runner, the Chorley 10k will take you around Chorley town centre and Astley Park before ending at the runners' village.

Councillor Peter Wilson, Deputy Leader of Chorley Council, said: “After a tough 18 months, it’s great that an event like this can now go ahead.

"One of the more challenging issues during the pandemic was the loss of leisure facilities and gyms, and I know a lot of people turned to running and exercising in the great outdoors.

“If the 10k sounds a bit much, don’t worry - we’ve got you covered!

"We’re also running a family friendly 2k for all abilities."

Spectators are welcome to the event and people can watch the race across the route.
