By Alasdair Perry 1st Jul 2026

Taking place on Sunday 19 July, the race is open to runners of all abilities, and takes a flat circuit the borough.
Starting outside Edgeley Park on Hardcastle Road, runners will head through Shaw Heath, Cale Green, Davenport, Bramhall, Cheadle Heath, before finishing up with a memorable lap of Edgeley Park.
A number of roads will be closed on the day - see the run's dedicated website for a full route.
The run is being organised by RunThrough, in partnership with Vitality.
Runners can nominate a charity when taking part, with participants who aren't sure invited to run in support of Stockport County Community Trust.
Entry costs £34, with every participant receiving an exclusive Vitality Stockport 10K finisher's medal and complimentary race photography.
