Your Dougie Mac 10K Guide: Tips, Tricks & Cheers for Dougie Mac Runners
PAU is delighted to be supporting Dougie Mac 10K at Trentham this May. We’re proud to be involved in an event that brings the local community together for such an important cause — and we’re here for the runners too! With expert Run Leaders in-store, gait analysis, and personalised advice, we want to make sure you enjoy your training and race day.

NEW TO RUNNING? START HERE
Our Couch to 5K Guide is a great place to begin, with simple tips to build confidence, consistency, and get you ready for the 10K.
RUN SMARTER WITH FREE GAIT ANALYSIS
Want to run efficiently and reduce the risk of injury? Our expert Run Leaders can analyse your running gait, measuring how your foot pronates when you land to determine how much stability you need from your shoes. You’ll get personalised advice on running technique and shoe choice, all tailored to help you train smarter and feel more comfortable on race day.

COME AND SAY HELLO!
We’re here for runners all year round — not just on race day! If you’re looking to get some extra training in for the Dougie Mac 10K, Trentham Gardens parkrun on a Saturday morning is a great way to get moving. Afterwards, pop into PAU Run & Ride to see the latest running shoes, kit, and accessories, get advice from our friendly staff, or simply enjoy a coffee and cake in the café next door.
We love meeting runners from the local community, so come by, say hello, and see how we can help you enjoy every mile.
