The Blackpool Festival of Running 5K route starts at Race HQ on the Middle Walkway, North Promenade, north of Blackpool North Pier opposite the Grand and Imperial Hotels (FY1 1SA) and finishes at Middle Walkway, North Promenade (Race HQ), Blackpool FY1 1SA. It passes Blackpool Promenade, Irish Sea seafront, Blackpool Tower, Blackpool North Pier and the piers.
