Stockport 10 race | Woodbank Stadium (start point) | Sun 15 December | 9.30am

Try your hand at the Stockport 10 mile run, taking place from 9.30am on Sunday 15 December.

A description for this event reads: "Starting on a running track, running through a park, heading out on the road and a section on a bridleway through the countryside.

"The race committee has always tried to keep that 'local race feel' to it, whilst it's increased in popularity over the years and become a 'must do event' on most runners' race calendars'.

"What makes it so popular and why do people keep coming back year after year? Some put it down to a well organised race along with vocal/encouraging marshals. Others talk about the variety of the terrain and the challenge of the hills. But the one thing that nearly everyone talks about is the 'tongue in cheek' approach that's taken to its organisation."

It's £22 for UKA affiliated runners, or £24 for normal price.
