Lancashire Constabulary Sports & Social Club - Inter-Divisional 10k Road Race

An early pilot event took place in Chorley in 1986. Five years on it was formally reinstated five years later, in 1991, by PC Steven Broadbent who has continued to organise this annual competition ever since.

Most of the events have taken place in Lancaster, incorporated within the annual Lancaster and Morecambe Athletic Club 10k Road Race. These events have taken runners along a rural course through the Slyne and Hest Bank areas.

In 1995 and 1996 by way of change, the events took place from Hutton Hall. The course was through Hutton, Longton and back along the by-pass.

In 2005 the Lancaster course changed and the runners were taken two laps along a flat course along Morecambe and Torrisholme Roads.
