The Run Like The Wind 10K is a fantastic new road race, along with a family fun run, on the scenic Walney Island.

With its flat profile, coastal scenery, and supportive atmosphere, Run Like the Wind is perfect for experienced runners, first-time 10k participants and families taking part in the fun run.

The race begins at the Round House before heading out along closed roads towards the coast. Runners then join the beach path, where they will enjoy stunning coastal views across the Irish sea along the shoreline of Walney Island.

The route continues along the seafront path heading towards Biggar Bank offering wide open views, sea air and the chance to run alongside the island’s famous wind turbines. After completing the first loop, runners return past the start area to begin the second lap before finishing on the front by the West Shore Club.
