Well done to everyone who ran the Market Drayton 10k today – you smashed it, especially in that warm weather!

We hope you all enjoyed the Wall's, Pork Farms, and Wright's Gingerbread goodies after the finish line!

A huge thank you to Cool Running Shropshire who year on year donate the chilled vans to keep our products cool.

Massive appreciation to the incredible Market Drayton community – your support was next-level. From music and hosepipes to sweets, cheers, and all those high-five power-ups, you made a real difference out on the course. The runners felt every bit of it – thank you!

This year, we’re proud to be raising funds for Macmillan, a cause very close to the heart of our race team. If you’d like to support, please visit:
