← Mersey Tunnel 10K

I regularly drive through the Mersey tunnel, never ran through it......until now. 

As always, BTR lay on great events for runners. Organised, well marshalled, good aid stations and fantastic goody bags and bling along with tech T. Way beyond what's expected for a 10k and the cheap entry fee. 

It was quite a large field, 2500, which created a brilliant atmosphere. 

Running through the tunnel was a different experience, with participants chanting and singing as we passed through. The latter stage a bit tougher as it's obviously uphill. 

The last 5k is along the sceneic Magazine Prom to New Brighton, always a nice place to run. 

This will be another regular in my diary. 

Note: 2018's race is 15 April, back to the normal time of year.
