Bolton NightRun

Bolton's NightRun event is the biggest and best in the UK, and whether you are new to running, a steady jogger or a seasoned athlete, there's a way for people of all abilities to take part.

Bolton NightRun

It's fun and friendly with great support along the town centre route complete with a fabulous finish in front of the town hall down the famous Ironman red carpet.

Choose from the 5k or 10k route. You might even win a free gym membership at Bolton Arena*.

Get fitter and healthier in a fun and supportive way!

New to running? A Couch to 5k programme could be perfect for you.

Couch to 5k is a friendly and fun way to get exercising that's proven to work. It starts slowly and builds your fitness with achievable goals.

Plus, everyone who completes their Couch to 5k by running NightRun will be entered into a draw to win a three month gym membership at Bolton Arena.

You can train on your own using the free app, or join the Horwich RMI Couch to 5k group. Whatever works for you!

* Sign up to either of these and complete the event and you will be entered into the draw to win a free 3 month gym membership at Bolton Arena.

Run for fun

Choose from the 5k or 10k route and enjoy the atmosphere through the streets of the town centre. Why not run in fancy dress?

Walk the 5k

Bolton Wanderers in the Community is making it easy for people to join the fun of this year’s NightRun event by walking the 5k route.

Walking is great exercise and benefits our overall wellbeing and physical and mental health. Plus, it’s a great way to meet new people.

The walkers will be led by a team of BWitC staff who will also be completing the route and encouraging others to do so.

All you need to do is sign up, lace up your trainers and meet up on the starting line (look for the people in BWitC t-shirts).

Experienced runners

This year, for the first time, NightRun has a 10k as well as 5k course. Also new for this year, everyone will receive their official time.

So, you can use NightRun as part of your training schedule or as a chance to earn a new personal best. Either way, you'll enjoy the support of the crowds along the route.

Hundreds of people have already signed up for the 10k.
