The History

Between 2003 - 2006 the race was held at Stapleford Park Hotel, a rural 10k two lap course around the grounds of the Hotel and the Leicestershire lanes. In 2007 the race was cancelled due to foot and mouth; the course passed over half a mile of farm land.

For 2008, we have brought the race back into Melton Mowbray, to be run from the Defence Animal Centre, and back to it's original distance of 5 miles.

Past winners of the Chris Ingram 10k at Stapleford Park are:
