On Sunday, September 27, 2026, Wyre Running invites runners to experience the inaugural Tram Route Run, a half-marathon journey along one of Blackpool's historic tram routes. This unique race starts at Squires Gate and winds its way through coastal towns including Bispham, Cleveleys, Rossall, and Fleetwood, finishing at Marine Hall Gardens. With breathtaking sea views and an enthusiastic local crowd cheering every step of the route, this 13-mile adventure offers a scenic and memorable running experience. The race is limited to just 250 participants, making it one of the most coveted events on the calendar for serious runners who appreciate historical landmarks and beautiful coastal scenery. Registration begins at 7:00 am at YMCA Sports Center in Fleetwood, with bus transfers available from there to Squires Gate starting at 8:15 am. The race itself kicks off promptly at 9:30 am, promising a mix of flat terrain and gentle inclines along the way. Runners will enjoy four water stations strategically placed throughout the course to keep them hydrated during their run. Upon crossing the finish line, all participants receive an exclusive designer medal as well as a goody bag filled with race day essentials. The event also features spot prizes for various age categories, adding an extra layer of excitement and recognition. For those planning on spectating or supporting friends along the route, Marine Hall Gardens offers easy access and ample facilities including parking, restrooms, and three cafés perfect for refueling before cheering runners across the finish line.
