The Oswestry 10k is a closed-road town race that starts and finishes on Smithfield Street in the heart of Oswestry. Runners cover one undulating lap that runs almost entirely on town roads, with a scenic section that leads into a fast downhill finish. The morning opens with registration at 08:00 and a mass warm-up at 08:45 before the 09:00 start gun, and there is a strict 90 minute cut-off for the course. A race village, water station, chip timing and a distinctive finisher's medal complete the day, with plenty of marshals and local support out around the route.
