The 10k course sticks to a straightforward out-and-back route along the seafront. Starting outside the Savoy Hotel near Gynn Square, runners head south on a traffic-free stretch of promenade, passing the Golden Mile before turning around at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Resort.
The return leg follows the same path north to the finish. Organisers say the route is fully marshalled, with water stations and first aid support in place.
