Blackpool Music Run is back

Blackpool Music Run is back for the third instalment of Blackpool's most entertaining 10K and 5K fun run, with stages along the Promenade playing host to some of the North West’s finest acts and artists.

Since Blackpool's fun run started, there has been over 1500 participants and 40 performers. The Promenade route, which is closed to traffic, will be fully marshalled with water and plenty of encouragement along the route.

You can run, jog, walk or even dance along either of the 10K or 5K distances and at the end you will get to claim one of their famous bespoke designed medals, which are unique to each event.

There will also be an opportunity to raise money for charity with over £5,000 raised across their previous two events. This year’s event will be offering special packages for any charities that want to get in touch. There will also be packages for multiple purchases for businesses and running groups or, if entrants want to enter for fun, they can.

The event is now in its third year and promises to be the best one to date. All entrants will have access to some great offers with their Run Rewards Club. Rewards last year included a free pint, £1 travel on Blackpool Transport, kids go free at Merlin attractions and much more. This year’s rewards will be announced very soon.

Blackpool Music Run are also pleased to announce the first round of acts who will be performing  which includes, last year’s main stage performers The Rattlers, new to Blackpool Music Run, Kallugo and last year's favourites Old Rope. More acts will be announced soon along with stage locations and new Run Rewards.

Luke Taylor, Event Organiser, said: “I am really excited about our third event, which grows every year. We look forward to improving every aspect of the event whether it’s the route, the medal, entertainment or our involvement with local businesses, I am sure every one that enters will not be disappointed”
