Are there water stations available on the course?

Yes! You will find a water station located outside GPW Recruitment at the top of North Road. Runners pass this point of the course twice, at approximately 4k and 7k.

How do I find out what time I achieved?

A: The results should be live via our website and the TDL Event Services shortly after the event finishes.

Can’t wait that long? Download the TDL App from either the App Store or the Play Store for free, connect up your social media accounts and it’ll post on your behalf as you pass our allocated checkpoints, including the finishing time in real-time as you cross the finishing line.

Am I allowed to run with headphones/earphones in?

Some runners require headphones to get themselves “in the zone”, if that’s you, it’s absolutely fine as the St Helens 10K Run takes place on full road closures. Although we have a tremendous amount of support from spectators and fellow runners. It’s one of the things our previous North Road Survivor’s like the most about our race.

Can I run with a pushchair/buggy?

Unfortunately pushchairs, buggies and other similar wheeled items are not allowed on the course during the event.

Due to our intensive risk assessments, unfortunately we cannot guarantee entries for wheelchair users. However if you are a wheelchair user please email info@sthelens.com with your enquiry.

Can I run in fancy dress?

Yes absolutely! However for the safety of other runners we do not allow any large items to be carried or pushed on the course while you are running.

Can my friends and family come and support me?

Of course, the more the merrier! Spectators are welcome out and about on the course and at the stadium where they can watch you cross the finish line from the South Stand.
