Blackrod Scarecrow 10K

The Blackrod Scarecrow 10K begins and ends at Hilltops Sports & Social Club in Blackrod, near Bolton in Greater Manchester, starting at 9:00am. This 10K multi-terrain race offers more variety than a flat road loop, incorporating road, trail, and hill sections. The route winds through the village and into the surrounding countryside, providing a small-place atmosphere distinct from a large-city event. It is suitable for beginners, with a walk-or-run option, and also caters to runners seeking a challenging mixed-surface 10K. The event supports charity fundraising, and published past results allow for comparison with earlier editions.
