Westbridge 5

Back to Westbridge Park for 2024 after a change last year due to work on the park the Westbrdge 5 is another of Stone Master Marathoners regularly promoted races, and established in the North Staffs Road Runners programme, this fast, five-mile event is virtually flat and a complete change from the challenging Spring Treble series in April. The term “multi-terrain” must have been coined for this course, with just about every type of surface being encountered from playing field, canal towpath, unmade tracks and footpaths to country lanes and even a short stretch of trunk road! Timed to complement the annual Stone Festival in early June, the race starts at Westbridge Park near the town centre and runs adjacent to the Trent and Mersey canal south to the historic village of Aston, looping back to finish near the start.
