The UK’s Tough 10

Cancer Research UK have created a series of ‘Tough 10’ epic 10k runs to provide a challenge for trail runners looking to get fit and raise money to help beat cancer sooner.

The runs are located in more than a dozen areas across the UK from Essex to Edinburgh and runners can choose from three levels of toughness available.

Races are taking place throughout the autumn and venues and dates can be checked out online.

Cancer Research UK’s site also has a host of advice on fitness plans, nutrition and all other aspects of prepping for your trail run with pro runner’s tips, as well as fund raising.

There’s full details on each location including route maps, altitude gain and level of challenge online.

“No obstacles – this is the chance to take on some of the UK’s toughest terrain. Double-knot your trainers and prepare to thigh-burn your way on your ultimate running challenge at events taking place at iconic venues across the UK,” a statement from the charity reads.
