Event details

Port Sunlight 10K/5K & Dual Race

The Port Sunlight 10K and 5K event started back in 2014 and is set in an idyllic village which was founded by ‘Soap King’ William Hesketh Lever in 1888.

The start and finish area sits alongside the impressive central fountain, the Lady Lever Art Gallery and the Port Sunlight Museum on the Windy Bank village green.

With the 5K going off at 10.00am over a single lap, the 10K starts at 11.00am over two laps... so there is plenty of racing for the spectators to watch as 1,000s of runners chase down fast times.

With the main event complete it's then time for the youngsters to get involved and have a go over a short 1K course once the 10K is over. Entries are taken on the day for the 1K and everyone completing the course gets a medal and a little reward for their efforts.
