Shrewsbury 10km 2024

I am writing this as I have finished the Shrewsbury 10km 2024 😁

I have ran this event for the last three years! I love it every time I run it - Porthill included!

It such a well organised events by Simon Macdonald through the picturesque town of Shrewsbury.

Described by Entryhub as - "Starting at the iconic Quarry Park, the Wace Morgan Shrewsbury 10k starts with a fantastic route through one of Britain’s finest and most beautiful medieval market towns within the first few kilometres. You’ll take on some hills within the first 3km, enjoying some of Shrewsbury’s residential areas and the town’s major river crossings before passing through the grounds of the prestigious Shrewsbury School.

After the halfway point, you’ll head back towards the town centre and will be welcomed back to the beautiful tree-lined Quarry Park with support from the many spectators. Our 10k event has built a fantastic following of runners and supporters who will be with you every step of the way until the end!"

Also, I have noticed that every year there seems to be an increase in the amount of runners, which as a runner myself I find it so exciting! My chip time this year was 00:58:54 which I was really happy with especially since the route is not flat 🏃‍♀️

Until next year Shrewsbury!
