The race is vets-only and is run over a 3 lap course on a closed-roads circuit in the centre of Horwich.
As in recent years, it is staged as part of the Horwich Festival Of Racing (formerly called the Horwich Carnival Races). These include a separate open 5k road race and various other races including cycle races.
Race HQ: Horwich Leisure Centre, Victoria Road, Horwich, BL6 5PY.
Entry fee: £7. To avoid paying an extra £2 entry fee, you need to be a member of a "BMAF area club" e.g. Northern Veterans AC. Your Striders club membership is not enough. Closing date for entries is 2-Jun-2012. Both on-line and postal entry are available.
Further race details including entry forms are on the Horwich Festival Of Racing web site
