Oldbury 10 mile - 2024 Race Series Race #3

Flat & Fast

Sunday 22nd September at 10:30am

10 miles is the perfect distance for anyone stepping up from 10k (6.2 miles) or preparing for a half marathon. The accurately measured course is on quiet lanes by the River Severn and is both flat and fast. A great run for a Sunday morning to hone your speed or just enjoy the quiet lanes.

We offer a £100 prize to anyone who can beat the course record: Men – 50min.19sec Michael Johnson, Cardiff AC (2010); Ladies – 57min.09sec Kim Fawke, Telford AC (2008)

The Oldbury 10 mile usually forms part of the Avon Road Race Championships, eligibility criteria can be found here.

For 2024 we will once again recognise your efforts with a wooden medal. If you take part in all 3 TRC Race Series 2024 events (Riverbank Rollick, Thornbury 10km and the Oldbury 10 mile) the medals will create a larger impressive medal. Look out for photos coming soon on Facebook.
