How to find us
We are based at Elworth Cricket Club, which is on the main road between Sandbach town centre and Middlewich.
Coming from the Sandbach end, we are about 50 metres past The Fox pub, on the opposite side. Adequate car parking is available at the Cricket Club.
Be careful when driving in the dark, as the entrance is not obvious on the first visit. Look out for a stone wall painted white.

Sandbach Super 6
Length: 7 miles (to and from club)
This is the route for the Sandbach Super 6 10k race. It is also a popular Wednesday night training route during the lighter months. The route we run is slightly longer than the offical race route as we start from the club and not the footbridge.
It's mixed terrain although mostly on road, there are also sections of bridal path and a short jaunt across grass.
