Welcome to the High Legh 10K
With an enviable reputation for being a friendly, welcoming race, the High Legh 10K – or Robert Moffat Memorial Race, is a consistently brilliant event. In addition to our great marshalling and organisation, and a genuine warm welcome to all participants, the event includes chip timing for a 10K certified course; a lovely medal for all finishers – and every registration fee helps support local communities and charities.
What’s more, if you register before January 21st, you get the option of the fabulous technical race tee shirt for FREE!
And if you’re not keen on another tee shirt, you can elect for us to make a donation in lieu to a wonderful Children’s charity instead. The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust (CAFT) is just a stone’s throw from the race route – and we are pleased to support them.
Organised as a partnership between Lymm Runners and the High Legh Community Association the High Legh 10K is a truly community based event organised by running club members and residents of High Legh Parish.
Don’t just take our word for what a great event this is!
Runner’s World magazine listed us as a ‘great event’ in March 2023 ‘thanks to excellent organisation, a quick route, a competitive field and a warm welcome‘.
The Guardian have listed the High Legh 10K in their round up of 20 ‘Best running events for beginners, improvers and … adventurous types’. We also have consistently rave reviews across social media: “Small friendly race, well organised with a scenic route and good facilities for runners and spectators.” “A community spirited, professionally organised, 10k country lane road race”.
A Warm Welcome Awaits
The Robert Moffat Memorial Race has a fantastic reputation as being friendly to runners of all abilities as well as spectators. And although early March might be a bit chilly, you can be sure of a warm welcome from the whole of High Legh.
The race starts and finishes at the primary school in High Legh. The school is our race HQ; race registration, baggage drop, loos, First Aid and the perfect place to meet up with your running partners (or support crew) before and/or after running. Irresistible home-made refreshments are available for sale from the PTA; tea, coffee and soft drinks, breakfast barms and delicious cakes… No wonder the race has a friendly, community feel!
Training For The HL10K
Preparing to take part in any 10K requires adequate training. There are serious risks in trying to run hard without it.
Lymm Runners offer plenty of training opportunities to support runners of all abilities wanting to take part in the High Legh 10K.
Free Run-the-Route Fun Run
Ahead of Race day all runners are welcome to join us a for a free run-the-route session. It’s a great way to familiarise yourself with the route and what to expect on Race day itself.
Each year, various paced run groups are available and you’ll always be in supportive company.
