Blackpool Youth Games – 2025 - Road Races

The races take place on Wednesday 18th June at Stanley Park Arena (inside the main stadium).

Whilst there is a competitive element to the races they are also intended to be fun and encourage participation.

The races start and finish in the athletics arena, with some of the course going through Stanley Park.

The races are scheduled to start at:

The event will take the form of 8 races:

Year 1 Boys = 4:30pm

Year 1 Girls = 5.00pm

Year 2 Girls = 5.15pm

Year 2 Boys = 5:30pm

Years 3 & 4 Boys = 5.45pm

Years 3 & 4 Girls = 6.00pm

Years 5 & 6 Boys = 6.15pm

Years 5 & 6 Girls = 6.30pm

 

Key Stage 1 races will be contained the athletics arena.

Key Stage 2 races will start with a lap of the Athletics Track. The children will then be guided by race marshals to the route of the race course within Stanley Park.

If the runners could arrive 10 minutes before their races, we would ask that all children are accompanied by an adult. Each race should last around 15 to 20 minutes; therefore we would ask parents to stay in order to take their child home after the race. There is no need to bring in a reply slip or register, children can just turn up and run (or do a mixture of running and walking).

Children should wear shorts, a t-shirt and trainers or pumps. I would suggest they bring a drink with them.

Thank you,
