The inaugural ‘Nantwich 10k Road Race’ will take place this Sunday March 20.
The race, organised by Mike Stevens, founder of Nantwich Running Club, will get underway at around 9.30am and runners will race around a 10km (6.2 miles) loop on closed roads.
It starts at the traffic lights on Waterlode opposite Nantwich Town Football Club.
Competitors will run along Waterlode and turn right into Chester Road towards St Mary’s Church in Acton.
At the Church, turn left along Monks Lane and then left into Swanley Lane, continuing towards Ravensmoor.
The course then turns left into Dig Lane and left again into Raven’s Lane and back to Monks Lane.
At the junction with Monks Lane, competitors then turn right and head back to Acton Church, and right again along Chester Road back down to the start line at Waterlode where they U-turn at the lights and head to Malbank High School.
After a loop around the school car park, the race finishes on the Playing Fields off Waterlode.
