Welcome to the High Legh 10K

Our 2026 event took place on March 8th and was another very successful race with lots of very happy runners, great support from the local community – and dry weather too! We very much hope to repeat the fun next year so please come back and register to join us then.

 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.

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.
