About this race

Flying Fox 10 2nd November 2025, 10:30am ENTRIES NOW OPEN HERE https://www.avtiming.com/flyingfox Join us in the scenic Staffordshire village of Standon for the best run of the Autumn: an undulating 10 mile road race through beautiful rolling countryside. **As we sold out last year, we recommend signing up early**. First held in 2003 and named the Flying Fox in honour of our club logo, this fun but challenging event is a popular fixture on the North Staffs Road Runners Association programme. Run on picturesque, quiet lanes, the course winds from Standon through the lovely villages of Chapel Chorlton and Maer, with a small hill or two along the way! The race finishes at the local school in Standon where there are ample refreshments to suit the weather, which at that time of the year can be, ahem, variable. Plenty of car parking is available at the nearby Standon Mill by kind courtesy of their owners and there are also limited spots on the lanes nearby. New course records were set in 2024 by Lee Gratton (51:24) and Emma Taylor (1:00:04). However, the race is to be enjoyed by most of us mere mortals at whatever speed we want!

What to expect

Written from race data

The Flying Fox 10 2026, scheduled for November 1st, 2026, in Stafford, Staffordshire, UK, is an established event organised by Andrew Cawthorne. While specific historical details of its inception are not provided, "Event Type: 1" suggests it is likely a well-trodden race, possibly a standard road 10-mile or 10k event, or potentially an established trail race within the local running calendar. Participants can anticipate a community-focused running experience in the heart of Staffordshire. Runners should prepare for a course that is typically characterized by the mixed terrain of the Staffordshire region. This often translates to a combination of road and trail sections, offering a varied and engaging running experience. Depending on the exact route, expect undulating paths and potentially some quieter country lanes or woodland trails. The November date suggests that conditions could be cool, with a possibility of damp weather, so appropriate gear is advised. The "Flying Fox" moniker may hint at a swift, flowing course, or perhaps a particularly scenic route that captures the essence of the local wildlife or landscape.
