Suffolk: Registration details released for Woodbridge 10K

The Woodbridge 10k, which has raised more than £100,000 for local charities during its 40-year lifespan, will once again hit the streets on Sunday, May 21 2023.

This year, the Round The Town Races will feature a 10k circuit for seniors alongside a separate junior race.

Organisers say they hope to build on the success of last year's race, which returned after a two year break due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

The route will take runners around a two-lap course which passes The King’s Head, The Bull, The Duke Of York, The Cherry Tree, The Anchor and The Red Lion as well as The Galley restaurant

Six charities, including EACH, CLAPA and Suffolk Wildlife Trust - Martlesham Wilds, will benefit from the £12,000 fundraising pot amassed by efforts from Woodbridge Shufflers Running Club, racegoers and sponsors.

Club secretary Lucy Beales said: “As always, we are expecting the race to be over-subscribed, so make sure to keep a close eye on the clock to give yourself the best chance of bagging a place.

"Runners will receive a commemorative t-shirt as part of their entry fee - we have a fantastic t-shirt design under wraps, and we can’t wait to see the runners proudly wearing their efforts in the town after the race.”

The race entry is open to the public from noon on March 18.
