Want a new challenge to boost physical health and wellbeing at the same time as raising funds for our dedicated charity, Mersey Cares?
The BTR Liverpool Mersey Tunnel 10k offers a unique experience taking runners beneath the River Mersey through the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel.
The course takes participants on an atmospheric subterranean journey before emerging on the Wirral side and heading along the Dock Road towards Seacombe Ferry – which marks the halfway point.
The second half of the race follows the beautiful riverside promenade, showcasing some of the most impressive views of the Liverpool skyline – before the finish line awaits on Ian Fraser Walk in New Brighton.
Why take part?
Not only will you get to experience an incredible atmosphere as hundreds of people take to the streets of Liverpool, by signing up, you’ll be helping us raise vital funds that support our services across the community. It’s a fantastic way to challenge yourself, enjoy a unique route, and make a real difference.
