The brand new Middlesbrough Runs are coming this August, and if you’re thinking of setting yourself a new challenge, or you’ve already caught the running bug, there’s plenty of time to train and prepare for the Middlesbrough 10K.
Maybe you’ve already done a parkrun or completed couch to 5K (if not, don’t worry! There’s plenty of time to start running).
Maybe you’ve stood on the sidelines a few times and cheered on a loved one, and thought…
“Could I do something like this?”
Then you’ve already started your running journey, and in a few months you can go from “I’m not sure I could manage a 10K,” to “I’ve just smashed the Boro 10K!”
10K can sound like a big step if you’re new to running, or used to running 5K. But with a bit of a plan, some preparation, and a bit of tough graft, you’ll be surprised at what you can achieve.
Why do your first official 10K at Middlesbrough Runs? Because there’s nothing quite like it.
It’s a local run, showing off Boro pride and bringing together the local community. As you run around the town centre, past the Riverside Stadium and through Albert Park, the support of the people will carry you through. There’ll be a party atmosphere at the start and finish, crowds to cheer you on, and a medal waiting for you.
If you’ve been considering it, this is your sign to go for it!
