We are proud to bring you the 33rd edition of the Helena Tipping Wrexham 10K. The new course will start at the brand new Net World Sports site on Bryn Lane Wrexham LL13 9UT. The race is just over 1.5 very quick laps of the shorter loop of our Village Bakery Wrexham Half and will finish at Isycoed Community Centre. Runners will then be guided by signs back to the start area and Race HQ. This race is in memory of Wrexham AAC member Helena Tipping.

There is plenty of free parking nearby as well as a key drop at Race HQ.

There are cash prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd open male and female (£500, £300 & £200).

There will be a drink station at the 5km point with plenty of food, refreshments and goodies at the finish line as well as the special edition bespoke medal. Entrants must be 15 and over on race day.

Each runner will be issued with a race number with a disposable timing chip on race day.

This system is user friendly. The disposable system allows runners to have more flexibility at the finish line, since the removal of the chip is not required.

If you are using the single use chip, please ensure the following to receive an accurate time:

Race bib is clearly visible on the front of the torso
Race bib is unaltered and unmodified
Race bib is pinned in all four corners
Race bib is not covered (jackets, runner belts, water bottles, etc.)

Please note: The race number allocated to you is for use by you only. Please do not pass on the race number unless you have completed the online transfer. The transfer entry closing date is on your confirmation email.
