Tips & Advice

  • Collect your run number at the registration tent beside the sports-centre car park between 10:00 and 11:00, before the 11:30 start.
  • Register each participant separately and allow at least the suggested £20 donation per runner, as the organizer requests separate registrations.
  • Participants under 16 must attend with a guardian, so arrange an accompanying adult before registering.
  • Follow the marked 5k route and any marshals on the day; volunteer availability may affect course marshalling.
  • Keep off the grass around the track finish because the council has planted wildflowers there.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Prizes are awarded to the three participants with the highest donations; winners are announced after the event.
