Thousands of participants of all abilities and ages will descend on Bury this weekend for one of the biggest annual running events in the region.

Taking place on Sunday, September 15 and staged by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, the UK’s largest not-for-profit events company in partnership with Bury BID and Bury Council, the day will welcome the return of the Bury 10K along with the mini and junior runs.

The Bury BID 10K starts at 9.30am on Sunday morning outside the Rock Shopping Centre and will take runners along Tottington Road and Bury Road, before exploring the local nature reserve, the Kirklees Trail.

The course will then loop back towards the town centre before participants cross the finish line back outside The Rock.

Inviting mini and juniors of all abilities, the mini 1.5km caters to children between the ages of three to eight whilst the junior 2.5km for children between the ages of nine and 14.

Participants are invited to wheel, walk, jog and run as organisers work to make the event accessible to all abilities and ages ranging from three to 81.

Nigel Shields, Town Centre Director said: “We’re really excited to be sponsoring the Run for All – Bury BID 10k.

“It’s a fantastic event that brings everyone together, whether they’re running or cheering from the sidelines.

“Supporting something that not only promotes health and community but also supports the vitality of our town centre is really important to us and we can’t wait to see everyone there.”

The event will require the closure of roads and road junctions as well as the suspension of a number of traffic regulation orders between 8.30am to 12.30pm on the day.
