For the past four years Market Drayton 10k has been ranked the UK's best 10K race by Runner's World magazine, beating events in London and Leeds to the top spot.
But this year the magazine has left the event in Market Drayton out of the league table, despite being rated the highest by runners.
Kerry McCarthy, commissioning editor of Runners World, said this year it had changed the way the best races were rated.
One of the organisers Tim Beckett said they were "very upset" the magazine had changed the system.
