Event overview

The Severn Bridges 10K is a unique UK road 10K held in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, featuring a distinctive multi-loop course that crosses the River Severn several times. Organised by the Shropshire Shufflers Running Club, the event combines a friendly, club-run atmosphere with a challenging but rewarding route. The course includes repeated bridge crossings and undulating sections, making it better suited to runners looking for a solid training effort rather than a flat PB course. Despite this, the well-supported route and local feel make it a popular choice in the Shropshire running calendar. RaceScan tracks entry status, key race details and updates for the Severn Bridges 10K in one place.
