Burntwood could host a new 10k race if the proposal is given the green light by local councillors.
The event, which would run in September 2023, will be discussed at a meeting of Burntwood Town Council’s community and partnerships committee.
A report said the race would cost between £12,000 and £15,000, but that this cost would be met by sponsorship and entry fees.
“Such an event would be a prestigious one and would help promote the community spirit of the town.
“The clerk worked with a local events management company to determine the details, route, costs and safety measures.
“The ompany have produced a detailed report proposing that the route is a mix between a lap of Chasewater, and end at Burntwood Leisure Centre, taking in the High Street, but minimising the need for road closures.”
