The Birchwood 10k is organised by Spectrum Striders running club. Last year it was only run as a “virtual” race because of the Covid situation but proved so popular that this year, a “virtual” version of the race is taking place alongside the main race.
Anyone who cannot make the main race or does not yet feel ready to take part in it can run a virtual race at a 10k location of their own choice until August 30.
