I would like to thank everyone who made this year's Market Drayton 10K a success as feedback we got was the best ever. Over 1900 entries for the 10K, 170 for the Fun Run.
It is the support of the following sponsors that allow us to keep our prices down - Compleat Food group, Müller, Red Lion, Culina Transport and Cool Runnings.
Thanks to all the following, who without their help, this event wouldn't happen – Our 10K team consisting of Leanne Massey, Geoff Chevins, Robert Boffey and Stuart Nagington.
Mike Smith, Linda Denham, Bryan Dale photographs, Market Drayton scouts who did the water handout, goody bag finish area handout and the left baggage area. Market Drayton Guides fantastic job giving out the t shirts and race numbers. Market Drayton Running Club for fun run and all other help they gave. Grove School, all our marshals and all other helpers on the day, too many to name, Barber and Son, our pacers, Plews Family, BSB Sound, AR Richards, Per Cup, Book it Zone, Let’s do this, Race Timing Solutions, Scimitar, Market Drayton Town Council and the Police for their support, Iain McIntosh
Special thanks to all the local residents who came out to support and cheer the runners on and the hose pipes and water on route were greatly appreciated. And all the motorists who respected our marshals for manning the road junctions. And Tim Manton, Market Drayton Mayor, who attended the event all day.
And of course, I’d like to thank the runners who take part in our event.
As a thank you to you all, we are not putting our prices up for the 2027 race. There are no gimmicks, no early bird deadlines, but it’s first come first served, we will sell out, so book early to guarantee your place. Over 80 runners missed out this year as we sold out.
