Thank you for entering the Gnosall 10k taking place on 13th June 2026

1. Where: The race starts and finishes at Gnosall Family Sports Club ST20 0JF
2. Race start is at 10:30am
   • In order to avoid congestion on the route, the race will start in waves, with the speedy runners going first (anticipated finish of 50 minutes or less), then 60 minutes, 70 minutes and so on, with our final (and favourite wave) being “I just want to finish and get to the bar!
3. The race is chip-timed by JC Race Timing so it doesn’t make any difference which wave you start in. You can visit JC after your race if you would like the official print out of your race time. Results will also be online later in the day: https://jcracetiming.uk/category/results/ 
4. Car parking: There is no parking at the Club. Please park at Gnosall Health Centre (ST20 0GP), who are kindly opening their car park from 9am - 2pm for runners. Allow up to 10 minutes to walk from the Health Centre to the Sports Club.
5. Registration will open from 9am. Please arrive in plenty of time, ideally by 9.45am, to collect your race pack (and queue for the portaloos!). Runners’ briefing is at 10:20am. 
6. The route is multi-terrain and incorporates the Shropshire Union Canal towpath, fields, woodland trails, farm tracks (please respect the farmers’ crops), the disused railway line and the boardwalk through The Acres. Please be prepared for this; it is a beautiful route however the terrain is uneven terrain and can be very muddy in places so tie those shoelaces tightly!  Check out the route
7. HYDRATE!  Due to the time of year, it could potentially be a warm day so please hydrate well throughout the week leading up to the race. There are two water stations on the route however it is advisable to bring additional fluids on the day to avoid dehydration.
8. The course is fully marshalled with 32 marshal points. Please heed the advice of marshals throughout the route regarding any potential risks or incidents and remember that all our marshals are lovely volunteers who have given up their Saturday morning to make this race possible. If you are injured, contact the nearest marshal and first aid assistance will come to you quickly.
9. Bag drop: it will be possible to leave bags in the registration hut. However, it is not a manned bag drop so please do not leave valuables.
10. Toilet facilities (portaloos) are in the Club car park. Please use the portaloos which are being provided for the race and not the toilets in the Club.
11. T-shirt: all finishers will receive a Gnosall 10K t-shirt and goodies at the end of the race. Runners who signed up before the end of March are able to choose their t-shirt size which will be marked on the race number. All finishers will receive a T shirt however, we cannot guarantee the size of t-shirt if you signed up after this date.
12. Prizes: Trophies are awarded to the first 3 men and women and in memory of one of our former young Gnosall 10K runners Sam Myatt, we will also be awarding the ‘Sam Myatt Trophy’ to the fastest youngsters (aged 20 or younger) on the day. We also love distributing random spot prizes to worthy runners of all abilities as they cross the line.
13. FAMILY FUN RUN: the chip-timed Family Fun Run will take place at 9:30am at £3.50 per person. 
    • Online entry for the Fun Run will open closer to race day
    • There will also be a bouncy castle and the play park at the club to keep little ones entertained on race day. 

And finally, a big thank you to all our runners and race sponsors. Thanks to your support, last year we were able to give back to our community by donating our profit of £1000 to local charities and causes and we look forward to being able to do the same again this year.

We look forward to welcoming you to Gnosall on Saturday 13th June 2026!
