The Trent Valley Way Relay starts with a run from Norton Green to Hanley Park, then hands the baton to a Stoke City FC stadium-bound walk, followed by a run to World of Wedgwood. 

Join us for the entire relay, pick one, or simply meet us at the Bet365 Stoke City FC Stadium for free family activities, including a chance to meet Pottermus. Activities are on between 11am-1pm at the Bet365 Stadium.

The event has been organised by local rivers charity Trent Rivers Trust, in conjunction with Running Out of Time, a national relay event that will see the baton passed from Ben Nevis to Big Ben, calling for action on climate change.

All three legs of the relay are free to enter and open to all, but booking is required. Runners will set out on the first leg, of about 8km, from Endon Road close to the River Trent in Norton Green at 9am, and arrive at the bridge crossing the canal in Hanley Park at around 10am for the second leg. There, they will hand over to a group of walkers who will take the baton on a 4.5km route to the Bet365 Stadium. The walk will be led by Trent Rivers Trust staff, who will tell people more about the river in Stoke, signs of nature to look out for and how the Trent Valley Way in Stoke will join up with work the charity has already completed in Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

On arrival at the Bet365 Stadium at around 11.30, the baton will hang around for some photos before it is passed on to more runners, who will take it to the World of Wedgwood on a third, 6km leg, where a final handover will see it leave the city before it heads further south.
