Nuneaton 10k race returns with new children's fun run

The 2021 race is warming up to be the best one yet.

The Nuneaton 10K is back for 2021 and it’s even better with the addition of a 2k Junior Fun Run.

On Sunday 12 September we will see the return of this popular town centre event after last year’s was cancelled due to Covid.

This year there will be a junior race which will coincide with the main event. Participants between the ages of 7-14 are invited to join the fun.

The event is run by Nuneaton Harriers Athletics Club alongside volunteers from other clubs.

Eric Fowler, Chair of Nuneaton Harriers said: "As the West Midland athletics club of the year we have gained a reputation for organising really great events for athletes of all standards. We're delighted that we've made the 10k better still this year by adding in the children's fun run".

The flat terrain is an ideal personal best course and a great introduction to longer distances for newer runners. 

The 10k three-lap course will start at Nuneaton Town Hall at 9.30am and travel through Coton Road, Avenue and Attleborough Road finishing at Pingles Athletics Stadium. Shortly after, the junior run will set off on a route from the slip road by the museum.

There will be some road closures and local residents have been made aware that there will be some disruption between 8.30 and 11am on the morning of the race.
