Flying Fox 10 2026

The Flying Fox 10 is a 10-mile road race that begins and ends in Standon, a village in Staffordshire, finishing at All Saints School. Established in 2003, it is part of the North Staffs Road Runners Association programme and holds an England Athletics licence. The race is named after the organizing club’s fox logo, not the animal; however, a flying fox is a type of large bat. The course follows quiet country lanes through rolling terrain, offering an undulating profile distinct from a flat, urban race. Participants will run through Chapel Chorlton and Maer before heading back to Standon, where refreshments await at the finish. The event is popular enough to sell out, and its course records—50:15 for men and 1:00:04 for women—indicate it appeals to competitive club runners and local participants alike.
